Description
Manipulation of NA handling to be shown in DT data tables (as suggested here )
is causing an error in plotly
# set NA handling
options(htmlwidgets.TOJSON_ARGS = list(na = 'string'))
# dat
dat <- data.frame(class=c('A','B','C'),counts=c(10,20,30))
# generate plot
ggplotly(
ggplot(data=dat, aes(x = class, y = counts)) + geom_bar(stat="identity")
)

Research direction
Start by running the provided R reproduction with htmlwidgets.TOJSON_ARGS set to na = 'string' and capture the plotly error. Trace how that option is handled during ggplotly conversion and JSON serialization. Done means the example generates the plot without an error while preserving the requested NA handling.
