bsicons not working with shinydashoard

[sanjmeh]

Hi,

I think bsicons::bs_icon() is not accepted in shinydashboard,

The following is extract of one of the menuItem, and the shiny app menu just stays with no icons.

  menuItem(text = "ETL Health Tracker",icon = icon(bsicons::bs_icon("lungs-fill",size = "1.5em")),
                           menuSubItem("API Tracker",tabName = "apitrack",icon = icon(bsicons::bs_icon("bug"))),
                           menuSubItem("DB tracker",tabName = "dbtrack",icon = icon(bsicons::bs_icon("box2-heart")))
                  )

See output..

A fix for this would need to come from shinydashboard (it shouldn't be so overly strict about the icon type).

Feel free to post an issue with shinydashboard, but just as a heads up, a fix for this probably won't happen since shinydashboard will soon be superceded by {bslib}'s dashboarding tools
