Using the pre-loader takes over the entire screen, which is fine in some cases but not great in others. Just wondering if it’s possible to control where this displays somehow. E.g. it takes over the content part of a nodeJS template layout, so the header nav remains, or even I could just have the preloader over a repeat group element while a table reloads?
i’m using spinners with dynamic show / hide on execution - so I could build my own preloader - but want to see if the above is possible first?
Good idea! We were already brainstorming for some animations and transition effects for the content view. Preloader for the content view is definitely also a needed option.
I think the ideal scenario is for it to be contained In whatever container it is in… Put at the top of a card body for instance and it will occupy the card body when loading etc. Same theory for a SPA content.
Btw you can already make your own preloader for the view component - it has a “loading” data property, so you can make conditional toggles with it - like toggle a css class or show hide other areas containing preloaders
