I have been trying to use extendTraces with this library but I keep getting an error: Uncaught Error: indices must be valid indices for gd.data.

I have been able to get it working with a regular HTML page but I am having trouble with the ReactJS library

It's not really possible to use extendTraces with this library, which is react-plotly.js, the ReactJS binding for plotly.js. With this library you just specify the full data/layout and the plot is efficiently redrawn to the new data. If you wish to use extendTraces you will not be able to use react-plotly.js.

I have the same error:

var interval = setInterval(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url : 'ajax/updatevalues',
        dataType : 'json',
        type : 'GET',
        success: function(data)
        {   
            var dateStr = JSON.parse(data.temperature.last_timestamp)
            // console.log('dateStr:', dateStr); // 2014-01-01T23:28:56.782Z
            temp_time = new Date(dateStr);
            // console.log('temp_time:', temp_time); // 2014-01-01T23:28:56.782Z
            temp_temperature = data.temperature.last;
            temp_refined_fuels = data.refined_fuels.last;
            temp_crude_oils = data.crude_oils.last;

            index.push(temp_time);
            temperature.push(data.temperature.last);
            refined_fuels.push(data.refined_fuels.last);
            crude_oils.push(data.crude_oils.last);
        }
    });

    
    xx = [];
    yy = [];
    

    temperature_list = [];
    refined_fuels_list = [];
    crude_oils_list = [];

    $('input[type=checkbox]').each(function () {

        if(this.checked == true){
            if(this.name == 'Temperature'){
                tt = [];
                tt.push(temp_time);
                xx.push(tt);
                temperature_list.push(temp_temperature);
                yy.push(temperature_list);
            }else if(this.name == 'Refined_Fuels'){
                tt = [];
                tt.push(temp_time);
                xx.push(tt);
                refined_fuels_list.push(temp_refined_fuels);
                yy.push(refined_fuels_list);
            }else if(this.name == 'Crude_Oils'){
                tt = [];
                tt.push(temp_time);
                xx.push(tt);
                crude_oils_list.push(temp_crude_oils);
                yy.push(crude_oils_list);
            }
        }        
    });

    console.log('xx: ', xx);
    console.log('yy: ', yy);
    console.log('get_number_of_traces(): ', get_number_of_traces());

    Plotly.extendTraces(testGraph, {
        x: xx ,
        y: yy 
        }, get_number_of_traces() );
    cnt++;

if(++cnt === 100) clearInterval(interval);
}, 2000);

the console lines print :

xx: (2) [Array(1), Array(1)]
(y: (2) [Array(1), Array(1)]
(active_parameters: (2) ["Refined_Fuels", "Crude_Oils"]
(get_number_of_traces(): (2) [0, 1]

console log of error:

Uncaught Error: indices must be valid indices for gd.data.

I want to show multiple data on the same chart. the user may select or deselect the checkboxes to add or delete traces. the data are coming from AJAX. all the received data are tested and are valid.
any suggestions?

I had the same needs, and seem to have "it working" ™ (meaning my plot does update with the new data) with the following sample.

import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import Plot from 'react-plotly.js';
import Plotly from 'plotly.js-dist';

export default function LineGraph() {

  const plotRef = useRef(null);
  const intervalRef = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    let count = 0;
    const samplesPer = 10;
    
    // Update the graph every 200ms with new data
    intervalRef.current = setInterval(() => {
      // Extend traces with the new data points
      const newData = Array.from({length: samplesPer}, () => Math.random());
      count += samplesPer;
      Plotly.extendTraces(
        plotRef.current.el, 
        { y: [newData] },
        [0]);

      // Start sliding the x axis once we reach >200 samples.
      if (count > 200) {
        Plotly.relayout(plotRef.current.el, {xaxis: {range: [count-200, count]}});
      }
    }, 250);

    return () => clearInterval(intervalRef.current); // Cleanup on component unmount
  }, []);

  return (
    <Plot
      ref={plotRef}
      data={[{ y: [], type: 'line' }]}
      layout={{ width: 500, height: 300, title: { text: 'Scrolling Plot' } }}
      useResizeHandler={true}
      style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%' }}
    />
  );
}
