Loading

Improve this doc

An overlay that can be used to indicate activity while blocking user interaction. The loading indicator appears on top of the app's content, and can be dismissed by the app to resume user interaction with the app. It includes an optional backdrop, which can be disabled by setting showBackdrop: false upon creation.

Creating

You can pass all of the loading options in the first argument of the create method: Loading.create(opts). The spinner name should be passed in the spinner property, and any optional HTML can be passed in the content property. If you do not pass a value to spinner the loading indicator will use the spinner specified by the mode. To set the spinner name across the app, set the value of loadingSpinner in your app's config. To hide the spinner, set loadingSpinner: 'hide' in the app's config or pass spinner: 'hide' in the loading options. See the create method below for all available options.

Dismissing

The loading indicator can be dismissed automatically after a specific amount of time by passing the number of milliseconds to display it in the duration of the loading options. By default the loading indicator will show even during page changes, but this can be disabled by setting dismissOnPageChange to true. To dismiss the loading indicator after creation, call the dismiss() method on the Loading instance. The onDismiss function can be called to perform an action after the loading indicator is dismissed.

Limitations

The element is styled to appear on top of other content by setting its z-index property. You must ensure no element has a stacking context with a higher z-index than this element.

Usage

constructor(nav: NavController) {
  this.nav = nav;
}

presentLoadingDefault() {
  let loading = Loading.create({
    content: 'Please wait...'
  });

  this.nav.present(loading);

  setTimeout(() => {
    loading.dismiss();
  }, 5000);
}

presentLoadingCustom() {
  let loading = Loading.create({
    spinner: 'hide',
    content: `
      <div class="custom-spinner-container">
        <div class="custom-spinner-box"></div>
      </div>`,
    duration: 5000
  });

  loading.onDismiss(() => {
    console.log('Dismissed loading');
  });

  this.nav.present(loading);
}

presentLoadingText() {
  let loading = Loading.create({
    spinner: 'hide',
    content: 'Loading Please Wait...'
  });

  this.nav.present(loading);

  setTimeout(() => {
    this.nav.push(Page2);
  }, 1000);

  setTimeout(() => {
    loading.dismiss();
  }, 5000);
}
