[CHORE]: Cannot resolve `Lib.*` and `Drawing.*` methods

[Lexachoc]

PyCharm reports methods imported from https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/main/src/lib/index.js as unresolved, for example:

var Lib = require('../../lib');

Lib.coerce(...)
Lib.coerceSelectionMarkerOpacity(...)

I get:

Unresolved function or method `coerce()`
Unresolved function or method `coerceSelectionMarkerOpacity()`

This makes development difficult because IDE navigation to the lib methods does not work.

The issue comes from this assignment:

plotly.js/src/lib/index.js

Line 13 in f618df5

var lib = (module.exports = {});

The static analysis doesn't like it.

Changing it to:

- var lib = (module.exports = {});
+ module.exports = {};
+ var lib = module.exports;

allows PyCharm (or maybe other IDEs?) to correctly resolve the exported methods.

The same problem also occurs in:

plotly.js/src/components/drawing/index.js

Line 23 in f618df5

var drawing = (module.exports = {});

For:

plotly.js/src/plots/cartesian/transition_axes.js

Lines 41 to 42 in f618df5

	.call(Drawing.setTranslate, 0, 0)
	.call(Drawing.setScale, 1, 1);

I get:

Unresolved variable setTranslate 
Unresolved variable setScale

And there are more.

Do you see this issue with other IDEs? I'm reluctant to make changes just to make things look right in one IDE.

Same for VS Code.

Code navigation is broken.

With the PR, code navigation is OK:
