`Transition` doesn't show fallback while pending

[kiyov09]

I noticed that the Transition component is not rendering the fallback while the resource inside is still pending.

Example Code

pub async fn test_resources() -> Vec<String> {
    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(2));
    vec![
        "Fizz".to_string(),
        "Buzz".to_string(),
        "FizzBuzz".to_string(),
    ]
}

#[component]
pub fn ResourcesIssue(cx: Scope) -> impl IntoView {
    let resource = create_resource(cx, move || (), move |_| test_resources());

    view! {
        cx,
        <div>
            <Transition fallback=move || view!{ cx, <p>"Loading..."</p>}>
            {
                move || resource.read(cx).map(|strs|
                    strs.iter()
                        .map(|s| view!{ cx, <p>{s}</p>})
                        .collect::<Vec<_>>(),
                )
            }
            </Transition>
        </div>
    }
}

I was analyzing the code and seems to be related to this if-else block: https://github.com/leptos-rs/leptos/blob/4ff08f042b643d542546076edc748a0b4582cb55/leptos/src/transition.rs#L87-L91

Ah, thanks very much for reporting this!

@gbj First of all thnx for your work on this. 💪

It's working now but only when combined with create_resource. If I used create_local_resource (which I'm doing in my project) the issue is still there.

Probably the new first_run Cell needs to be read/modified inside the fallback instead of the children At least that works for me.

I can continue with this if you want.

Ah okay! Want to make a PR?

[kiyov09]

Sure. I'll work on that tomorrow morning. Is that ok?

@gbj Ok, I found what's the issue, but I don't know the proper way to fix it. When on hydrate mode, the first run happens on the server, which sends the initial HTML with the fallback on it ("Loading..." in this case). When it gets to the client, the prev_children gets updated right away in the first run but it is an "invisible" element cause the resource is still pending (See screenshot below), so the fallback element sent by the server is removed.

Ah okay I'll take a look.
