easing="linear"
showSpinner
/>
{children}
</html>

Manual Control (Client Components)
Have an async operation before an eventual route change? You might be interested in holy-loader's manual controls. These only work in client components!
'use client';
import { startHolyLoader, stopHolyLoader } from 'holy-loader';
try {
startHolyLoader();
await signOut()
} catch (error) {
stopHolyLoader();
} finally {
stopHolyLoader();
/* OR */
router.push('/');
}
Common issues
Prevent triggering the loader when clicking a Button within a Next link:
onClick={(e) => {
e.preventDefault();
e.nativeEvent.stopImmediatePropagation();
}}
