Dash does not work without explicitly loading {dashHtmlComponents}

[daattali]

It seems that loading {dashHtmlComponents} is a requirement for a dash app to work, and that namespacing it doesn't work.

The below app works:

library(dash)
library(dashHtmlComponents)
app <- Dash$new()
app$layout(htmlDiv("test"))
app$run_server()

But the following doesn't render and results in javascript errors:

library(dash)
app <- Dash$new()
app$layout(dashHtmlComponents::htmlDiv("test"))
app$run_server()

@daattali post #243 (which hasn't been published yet) there shouldn't even be a dashHtmlComponents package anymore - is that included in the starting point you're working with? Is this only an issue with dashHtmlComponents or is it also a problem if you reference other packages (core like dashCoreComponents or non-core like dashBio) via namespace?

[daattali]

Haven't checked the other packages. I'm using latest CRAN version, but shouldn't be an issue to modify code once dashHtmlComponents gets unified.

Can confirm my code chunk above does work in the dev branch.
