Action Button with FontAwesome Icons

[dfan]

When declaring a default action button (without the Shiny Sky package), one can add a Font Awesome icon in the following manner: actionButton("action", "Go!", width = "100%", icon("paper-plane"))

However with the Shiny Sky library, the icon disappears

[oganm]

this happens because shinysky exports its own actionButton which masks shiny's action Button and causes unexpected behavior in apps. This can be solved by running

actionButton = shiny::actionButton

after loading shinysky. It is not particularly good behavior that a shiny extension collides with a base shiny function name though. It breaks themes from shinythemes packages for instance

I had the same issue trying to use the busyIndicator function from the package.

I solved it as follows:

shinysky::busyIndicator()
And I didn't need to load shinysky.
