Previews with container markup

[robzolkos]

I have a component that renders a table cell TD

It's not possible to render out just a TD as part of a preview (afaik). Chrome and Safari renders just the inner text. It needs to be surrounded by a TR and TABLE.

Is there a way to do this?

A non-working example....

class MyComponentPreview < ViewComponent::Preview
  def normal
    tag.table do 
      tag.tr do 
        render(MyTableCellComponent.new.....
      end
    end
  end
end

If not, I'd be happy to work on a PR if pointed in the right direction. I think there may be other examples/use cases of components that somewhat rely on their parent container and would be handy to be able to preview them.

@robzolkos that seems like a very real problem! Would you be up for filing an issue as this is a feature request?

Or, if you so desire, a PR with a failing test case would be even better!

Thanks @joelhawksley have submitted a PR with a failing test. Pretty basic but lets see if I can get help to see it through. Thank you and the team for this gem.
