@timelyportfolio LOL (2 years later almost related to your comment on shinyNextUI) I am facing the case where I have nested tags. Do you have an example of how to use hydrate from reactR. I am not very sure to what to pass to a component parameter (hydrate(component, tag)):

My use case is the following, using phosphoricons:

str(phosphoricons::ph_i("house"))
List of 3
 $ name    : chr "i"
 $ attribs :List of 1
  ..$ class: chr "ph-light ph-house ph-lg"
 $ children:List of 1
  ..$ :List of 10
  .. ..$ name      : chr "phosphor-icons"
  .. ..$ version   : chr "1.4.1"
  .. ..$ src       :List of 1
  .. .. ..$ file: chr "assets"
  .. ..$ meta      : NULL
  .. ..$ script    : NULL
  .. ..$ stylesheet: chr "css/icons.min.css"
  .. ..$ head      : NULL
  .. ..$ attachment: NULL
  .. ..$ package   : chr "phosphoricons"
  .. ..$ all_files : logi TRUE
  .. ..- attr(*, "class")= chr "html_dependency"
 - attr(*, "class")= chr "shiny.tag"
 - attr(*, "browsable_html")= logi TRUE

Contrary to shiny::icon, the later also adds the dependency to the icon in the children, which causes some issues. I can solve it by removing the dependency from the shiny tag and add it separately but if we could use hydrate that would be better.

I am not even sure that would be a solution, since the dependency would also have to be injected in the page head.

Thanks :)
