Dependency order in Shiny

[pvictor]

Hi,
Is there a way to specify the order of dependencies (using htmlDependency) in a shiny application ?

For example :

library(shiny)
library(htmltools)

addResourcePath(prefix = "mypackage", directoryPath = "")
ui <- fluidPage(  
  attachDependencies(
    tags$div(),
    htmlDependency(
      name = "dependency",
      version = "1.0.0",
      src = c(href = "mypackage/www"),
      script = "script.js"
    )
  )  
)
server <- function(input, output) { 
}
shinyApp(ui, server)

insert dependency between shiny deps :

ideally, I would like my script to be loaded after Bootstrap.

Thanks!

I am also interested to know if there is a way to order dependencies. I thought perhaps they were sorted by name, but adding different prefixes to names appears to have no effect.

When you attach dependencies, depend also on bootstrap, and make sure the bootstrap one appears earlier. htmltools will then make sure that any bootstrap dependency will come before your custom dependency. There isn't finer grained control than this though, and there isn't a way to more explicitly say "x depends on y". We could certainly add better control if it's warranted, though, so let me know if you have a scenario that's not supported by what we have now.
