-# Building plotly.js
+# Alternative ways to require or build plotly.js
+Depending on your needs, to bundle plotly.js into your application one of [the browserified distributed plotly.js packages](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/dist/README.md) on npm could be used.
 
-The easiest way to bundle plotly.js into your application is to use one of the distributed plotly.js packages on npm. These distributed packages should just work with **any** build framework. That said, if you're looking to save a few bytes, read the section below corresponding to your building framework.

+Given source file:
+```js
+// file: index.js

 ## Angular CLI
 
 Since Angular uses webpack under the hood and doesn't allow easily to change it's webpack configuration, there is some work needed using a `custom-webpack` builder to get things going.

 ## Quick start options
 
 ### Install with npm
 
 ```sh
-npm install plotly.js-dist
+npm install plotly.js-dist-min
 ```
 
 and import plotly.js as
 
 ```js
-import Plotly from 'plotly.js-dist'
+import Plotly from 'plotly.js-dist-min'
 // Or using require,
-var Plotly = require('plotly.js-dist')
+var Plotly = require('plotly.js-dist-min')
 ```

 ## Partial bundles
 
 There are two kinds of plotly.js partial bundles:
 1. The official partial bundles that are distributed to `npm` and the CDN, described in [the dist README](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/dist/README.md).
 2. Custom bundles you can create yourself, if none of the distributed packages meet your needs.
 
 Use the `traces` option to include just the trace types you need.
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- --traces scatter,scattergl,scatter3d
 ```
 Please note that the `scatter` trace is currently included in all bundles and cannot be removed.
 [This behaviour may change in the future](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/5535), so we recommend that you explicitly include `scatter` anyway if you need it in your bundle.
 
 By default all transforms are included in the bundle.
 Use the `transforms` option to specify which should be included.
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- --transforms sort,filter
 ```
 
 Or use `transforms none` to exclude them all.
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- --transforms none
 ```
 
 Use the `out` option to change the bundle filename (default `custom`).
 The new bundle will be created in the `dist/` directory and named `plotly-<out>.min.js` or `plotly-<out>.js` if unminified.
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- --out myBundleName
 ```
 
 Use the `unminified` option to disable compression.
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- --unminified
 ```
 
 ### Example illustrating use of different options together
 To create an unminified custom bundle named `myScatters` including `scatter`, `scattergl` and `scatter3d` traces without any transforms:
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- \
     --unminified \
     --out myScatters \
     --traces scatter,scattergl,scatter3d \
     --transforms none
 ```
 Or simply on one line:
-```
+```sh
 npm run partial-bundle -- --unminified --out myScatters --traces scatter,scattergl,scatter3d --transforms none
 ```

+## Alternative ways to require or build plotly.js
+If your library needs to bundle or directly require [plotly.js/lib/index.js](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/lib/index.js) or parts of its modules similar to [index-basic](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/lib/index-basic.js) in some other way than via an official or a custom bundle, or in case you want to tweak the default build configurations of `browserify` or `webpack`, etc. then please visit [`BUILDING.md`](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/BUILDING.md).
