Installation
Install ngx-loading via NPM, using the command below.
NPM
npm install --save ngx-loading
NOTE: Version 8 of this package requires Angular 8 as a dependency. If you are using Angular 7, please install version 7. For Angular 6, please install version 3 and for Angular 4 / 5, please install version 2.0.1 e.g.
npm install --save [email protected]
Getting started
Import the NgxLoadingModule
in your root application module:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CoreModule } from './core/core.module';
import { NgxLoadingModule } from 'ngx-loading';
@NgModule({
//...
imports: [
//...
NgxLoadingModule.forRoot({})
],
//...
})
export class AppModule { }
You must create a boolean variable (e.g. loading
below) that is accessible from the component which will contain ngx-loading. This boolean is used as an input into ngx-loading, and will determine when the loading spinner is visible.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
//...
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
//...
public loading = false;
constructor(private authService: AuthService) { }
ngOnInit() { }
Login() {
this.loading = true;
this.authService.login(this.email, this.password)
.subscribe(res => {
this.loading = false;
//...
}, err => {
this.loading = false;
//...
});
}
}
Next, add the ngx-loading component selector to your application component's template. Set the [show]
input variable of ngx-loading to point to your boolean, which will determine when ngx-loading is visible. Optionally set the [config]
input variable of ngx-loading to setup custom configuration options. If the [config]
input variable is not set, the globally configured configuration will be used, if set. If no config options are set, the ngx-loading default config options will be used. See Config options for further information.
You can also optionally define a [template]
input variable, which can be used to inject your own custom templates into the component.
NOTE: ngx-loading will fill the entirety of its parent component. If you wish for ngx-loading to only fill a specific element within your component, ensure that ngx-loading is a child element of that element, and that the containing element has its position
attribute set to relative
.
<div class="my-container">
<ng-template #customLoadingTemplate>
<div class="custom-class">
<h3>
Loading...
</h3>
<button (click)="showAlert()">
Click me!
</button>
</div>
</ng-template>
<ngx-loading [show]="loading" [config]="{ backdropBorderRadius: '3px' }" [template]="customLoadingTemplate"></ngx-loading>
//...
</div>
Input parameters
| Input | Required | Details | | ---- | ---- | ---- | | show | Required | A boolean, which will determine when ngx-loading is visible. | | config | Optional | A set of configuration options for ngx-loading. If this is not specified, the globally configured configuration will be used, if set. If no config options are set, the ngx-loading default config options will be used. See Config options. | | template | Optional | A TemplateRef, which will be displayed within the ngx-loading component. Use this to inject your own custom templates into the component.
Config options
| Option | Required | Default | Details | | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | | animationType | Optional | ngxLoadingAnimationTypes.threeBounce | The animation to be used within ngx-loading. Use the ngxLoadingAnimationTypes constant to select valid options. | | backdropBorderRadius | Optional | 0 | The border-radius to be applied to the ngx-loading backdrop, e.g. '14px'. | | backdropBackgroundColour | Optional | rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) | The background-color to be applied to the ngx-loading backdrop, e.g. 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)'. | | fullScreenBackdrop | Optional | false | Set to true to make the backdrop full screen, with the loading animation centered in the middle of the screen. | | primaryColour | Optional | #ffffff | The primary colour, which will be applied to the ngx-loading animation. | | secondaryColour | Optional | #ffffff | The secondary colour, which will be applied to the ngx-loading animation (where appropriate). | | tertiaryColour | Optional | #ffffff | The tertiary colour, which will be applied to the ngx-loading animation (where appropriate). |
Config options can be set globally (using the .forRoot() module import statement
), as well as being passed into each ngx-loading instance, if required. Config options that are passed into an ngx-loading element will override any custom global config options that have been set. A combination of the two can be used together if appropriate. If no config is set, the default ngx-loading config options will be used. Please see below for an example custom configuration setup, using both global and local configurations.
