Using Icons from SVG Factory

[kyle-power]

So I am trying to include SVG Factory icons in my DocumentCard(), specifically DocumentCardPreview().
According to the FluentUI documentation, this can be achieved using the previewIconProps argument, however in the FluentUI documentation, the following is called at the beginning of the script...

import * as ReactIcons from '@fluentui/react-icons-mdl2';

which is later referenced in the DocumentCardPreview() - see here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/icon

How can I import the icons for use in my {shiny.fluent} app?

Hi @kyle-power! Thanks for the question, I'll take a look next week 🙂

Hi @kyle-power! The @fluentui/react-icons-mdl2 is a separate JavaScript library and it is not included in shiny.fluent. There is no simple way to add it using just R - you'd need to use NPM and some bundler (e.g. webpack) to create a JS file ready for inclusion in your app. Alternatively, you could find the library on some CDN (however, my quick search didn't yield any results).

With that said, we might be able to add this icon library to shiny.fluent - I'll take it as a feature request 🙂
