Changed behaviour using shinycssloaders 0.3

[ismirsehregal]

The following code snippet was rendering the spinner just fine using shinycssloaders 0.2.0. After updating to 0.3 the spinner is no longer rendered.

Is this change intentional?

library(shiny)
library(shinycssloaders)

ui <- fluidPage(
  withSpinner(p(), type = 6)
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Can you elaborate on the usecase for this?

It's possible that it worked previously but I don't think it was explicitly meant to work. It's meant to work with shiny outputs only, anything else that might work is not a guarantee in my opinion.

I used it to stay in (manual) control of showing/hiding the spinner in context of uiOutputs using conditionalPanels. Otherwise, depending on what is rendered (using renderUI) the Spinner is showing up much too late.

I think the problem is described here (div without id).

The following works equivalent:

library(shiny)
library(shinycssloaders)

ui <- fluidPage(
  checkboxInput("toggle", "toggle"),
  conditionalPanel(condition = "input.toggle", withSpinner(uiOutput("spinnerDummyID1"), type = 6))
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Closing the issue accordingly.
