How to plot multiple lines using plotly in R using a loop

Question

I tried to use a function with a loop for not having to add manually every trace. But it does not work.

library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)

df <- tibble(year = c("2019", "2020"),
             x = c(1, 2),
             y = c(3, 5),
             z = c(2, 7))


addmore <- function(fig, i){
  fig %>% add_trace(y = ~df[[i]], name = colnames(df[i]),
                    mode = 'lines+markers',
                    line = list(width = 1)) -> fig
}

# This does not work

fig <- plot_ly(df, x = ~year, y = ~df[[2]],
               name = colnames(df[2]), type = 'scatter',
               mode = 'lines+markers',
               line = list(width = 1)) 

for (i in 3:4){
  addmore(fig, i)
}

fig <- fig %>% layout(title = "Sample",
                      xaxis = list(title = "Years"),
                      yaxis = list (title = "Values"))

You should include dom_w in your code so we can run it (use the dput function) — Ricardo Semião
