Interactive Plotly.js charts living inside CKEditor 5 content: scatter, bar, line, pie, and histogram widgets with hover, zoom, and responsive resizing - a proof that rich data visualization and rich text editing can share one document.
Released: Thu Jul 03 2025
What's inside
A CKEditor 5 widget integration for the Plotly.js chart library. Editors insert interactive charts (scatter with trend lines, bar, line, pie, histogram) directly into their content; readers get hover tooltips, zoom and pan, and charts that resize with the page.
Why it exists
A recurring customer question made concrete: can serious data visualization live inside the editor instead of being pasted in as a static image? This proof of concept says yes, and shows the widget architecture that makes it survive editing, undo, and collaboration.
