tion-number">8.6</span> Dependencies</h2>
<p>Thus far, this book has only covered one of two ways dependencies can be included in htmlwidgets. Though the one covered, using the <code>.yml</code> file, will likely be necessary for every widget it has one drawback: all dependencies listed in the file are always included with the output. Dependencies can greatly affect the load time of the output (be it a standalone visualisation, an R markdown document, or a shiny application) as these files may be large. Mos
