Getting Started

Installation

$ pnpm add react18-loaders-lite

or

$ npm install react18-loaders-lite

or

$ yarn add react18-loaders-lite

Import Styles

You can import styles globally or within specific components.

/* globals.css */
@import "react18-loaders-lite/dist";

// layout.tsx
import "react18-loaders-lite/dist/index.css";

For selective imports:

/* globals.css */
@import "react18-loaders-lite/dist/client"; /** required if you are using LoaderContainer */
@import "react18-loaders-lite/dist/server/bars/bars1";

Usage

Using loaders is straightforward.

import { Bars1 } from "react18-loaders-lite/dist/server/bars/bars1";

export default function MyComponent() {
  return someCondition ? <Bars1 /> : <>Something else...</>;
}

For detailed API and options, refer to the API documentation.

Using LoaderContainer

LoaderContainer is a fullscreen component. You can add this component directly in your layout and then use useLoader hook to toggle its visibility.

// layout.tsx
<LoaderContainer />
	 ...

// some other page or component
import { useLoader } from "react18-loaders-lite/dist/hooks";

export default MyComponent() {
	const { setLoading } = useLoader();
	useCallback(()=>{
		setLoading(true);
		...do some work
		setLoading(false);
	}, [])
	...
}
