Intercom iframe mounting multiple times

[vdumitraskovic]

For every react-intercom component, intercom iframe is mounted, even for the same appIDs

Any updates on this issue?

I think this should probably be addressed, but I'm curious in what circumstances you would have multiple instances of this component rendered at once. Can you guys share an example of why that would be desirable?

@nhagen My original problem is not multiple instances of the same component render at once, but rather at different times in the application. For example, I have a welcome screen that should not render the intercom component. After the user entered his credentials, we mount the intercom component and present the widget to the user. Later in the application user can go to another screen where we don't want to present the intercom component.

What I expect from this scenario is that there is only one single iframe loaded throughout the whole process, and what actually happens is that every time intercom component is mounted, a new iframe is loaded, and is causing memory leaks.

I'm actually getting very quick FOUC from Intercom when changing routes. I suspect it's related to this
