Overview

The Loading Indicator component for Angular 2 is a straightforward solution designed to enhance user experience during data fetching. Built to complement the ngSwitch directive, this component ensures that users are not confronted with incomplete or undefined data while asynchronous operations are underway. By incorporating this loading indicator, developers can improve their applications by seamlessly managing the visibility of elements in the DOM.

Using this component is simple: just import the necessary files and implement the provided methods in your target class. The Loading Indicator helps maintain a responsive interface by blocking certain parts of the view until data is ready, ultimately streamlining the experience for users.

Features

Easy Integration: Just import loading-indicator.ts and loading-indicator.scss into your project, making setup quick and efficient.
Responsive Loading Indicator: The component utilizes Angular's ngSwitch to cleverly manage views, ensuring that loading states are communicated effectively to users.
Public Property for State Management: The loading property allows you to easily track and control the loading state within your application.
Two Method Functions: Include ready() to signify that loading is complete, and standby() to indicate loading is in progress, providing flexibility in managing the template view.
Error Prevention: By blocking DOM elements until data is fully available, the component prevents common errors related to undefined properties during rendering.
Customizable: The simple structure allows developers to extend and modify the component to better fit their specific use cases.
Enhances User Experience: By clearly indicating loading states, users have a smoother interaction with the application, reducing confusion and potential frustration.
