Using Dropbox embedder in Angular application
Hi, I am trying to use the Dropbox embedder in a Angular application in component.
I used the https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder documentation as starting point but when using the anchor tag approach the element is not rendered though I see that the dropbox script is loaded.
Is there something else I should be doing or what could be the problem here? Are there resources for specifically using dropbox integration in Angular application?

...Hi Standa Fy,
You're making a conceptual mistake here. Let's recall - Dropbox check anchors on page load time. On other side Angulag is dynamic environment - i.e. all content (including your anchors) is loaded after page load! In other words - When Dropbox tries to find some place to load Embedder, it's not there yet. 😉 That's it. So you need to load Embedder in dynamic way (also described in documentation), so it will be compatible.
Hope this helps.
