Can I import a newer observableJS plot library?

[libjohn]

Description

I have some development Quarto/OJS code that I draft-published to netlify. My problem is with a bit of code that throws errors when render in Quarto, even as it works fine in an Observable notebook.

Is there a ojs import statement that can get the latest version of the Plot package? Or any suggestions on how to handle this?

The code in question (below) is commented out so it can be served on Netlify without the hover-labels I want. The technique comes from this documentation (docsa, docsb). The error messages are:

• TypeError: Plot.pointer is not a function
• TypeError: Plot.tip is not a function

    Plot.tip(
      my_filtered_weather,
      Plot.pointer({
        x: "startTime",
        y: "value",
        stroke: "measurement",
        channels: { measurement: "measurement"},
      })
    ),

I don't believe there is a way as it could break Observable integration in Quarto.
I would suggest to use Plot.version to see what Quarto is using.

[libjohn]

• Plot version is "0.6.0"
  • Not sure if the GitHub releases of Plot are the same numbering, but that is v0.6.9
• quarto --version is 1.3.433

To update, It is possible to load the latest Plot library

Plot = import("https://esm.run/@observablehq/plot")

I did not know it was possible to import only some parts of Observable.
Thanks for sharing!

Incidentally, thank you for using esm.run (for everyone else, that's the latest competitor in npm-to-esm autoconverting CDNs esm.sh, skypack.dev, etc.) Since both esm.sh and skypack.dev have been flaky in the past, it's good to know of other options!

FYI, I made a PR to document this:
