make grid simplify subplots (mixed plots not working currently)

Usecase:
User should be able to draw subplots with ease by using grid option.
User has 4 diff graphs and he wants to put them together, in grid by using following option without getting into much complexity

grid: {
    rows: 2,
    columns: 2,
    pattern: "independent"
  }
}

Ease of use:
It will be great to have similat functionality like provided in python plotly where user can define rows, columns, colspan and rowspan in data. Its plain and dead easy.

from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = make_subplots(
    rows=5, cols=2,
    specs=[[{}, {"rowspan": 2}],
           [{}, None],
           [{"rowspan": 2, "colspan": 2}, None],
           [None, None],
           [{}, {}]],
    print_grid=True)

Reference:
python plotly.subplots has given functionality with much ease of use. see HERE. Same is needed for js Please

JS CODE:

var trace1 = {
  type: "bar",
  y: [2, 3, 1]
};

var trace2 = {
  r: [2, 3, 1],
  theta: [0, 45, 90],
  type: "barpolar"
};

var trace3 = {
  type: "pie",
  values: [2, 3, 1]
};

var trace4 = {
  mode: "lines",
  type: "scatter3d",
  x: [2, 3, 1],
  y: [0, 0, 0],
  z: [0.5, 1, 2]
};

var data = [trace1, trace2, trace3, trace4];

var layout = {
  grid: {
    rows: 2,
    columns: 2,
    pattern: "independent"
  }
};

Plotly.newPlot("myDiv", data, layout);

Start by reproducing the mixed bar, barpolar, pie, and scatter3d example through Plotly.newPlot and compare it with the linked CodePen. Read the existing grid layout behavior and the Python Plotly subplots reference, then define what support for rows, columns, independent mixed plots, colspan, and rowspan would require; done means the example works without manual subplot configuration.
