How can I position my loading indicator in the center of the screen. Currently I\'m using a little placeholder and it seems to work fine. However, when I scroll down, the loadin
use position:fixed
instead of position:absolute
The first one is relative to your screen window. (not affected by scrolling)
The second one is relative to the page. (affected by scrolling)
Note : IE6 doesn't support position:fixed.
Worked for me in angular 4
by adding style="margin:0 auto;"
<mat-progress-spinner
style="margin:0 auto;"
*ngIf="isLoading"
mode="indeterminate">
</mat-progress-spinner>
You can use this OnLoad or during fetch infos from DB
In HTML Add following code:
<div id="divLoading">
<p id="loading">
<img src="~/images/spinner.gif">
</p>
In CSS add following Code:
#divLoading {
margin: 0px;
display: none;
padding: 0px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
z-index: 30001;
opacity: 0.8;}
#loading {
position: absolute;
color: White;
top: 50%;
left: 45%;}
if you want to show and hide from JS:
document.getElementById('divLoading').style.display = 'none'; //Not Visible
document.getElementById('divLoading').style.display = 'block';//Visible
This is what I've done for Angular 4:
<style type="text/css">
.centered {
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: -webkit-translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: -moz-translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: -ms-translate(-50%, -50%);
color:darkred;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<app-root>
<div class="centered">
<h1>Loading...</h1>
</div>
</app-root>
</body>
Here is a solution using an overlay that inhibits along with material design spinner that you configure one time in your app and you can call it from anywhere.
(put this somewhere at the root level of your html)
<div class="overlay" [style.height.px]="height" [style.width.px]="width" *ngIf="message.plzWait$ | async">
<mat-spinner class="plzWait" mode="indeterminate"></mat-spinner>
</div>
.plzWait{
position: relative;
left: calc(50% - 50px);
top:50%;
}
.overlay{
position: absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: black;
opacity: .5;
z-index: 999999;
}
height = 0;
width = 0;
constructor(
private message: MessagingService
}
ngOnInit() {
this.height = document.body.clientHeight;
this.width = document.body.clientWidth;
}
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Subject } from 'rxjs';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class MessagingService {
// Observable string sources
private plzWaitObservable = new Subject<boolean>();
// Public Observables you subscribe to
public plzWait$ = this.plzWaitObservable.asObservable();
public plzWait = (wait: boolean) => this.plzWaitObservable.next(wait);
}
constructor(private message: MessagingService) { }
somefunction() {
this.message.plzWait(true);
setTimeout(() => {
this.message.plzWait(false);
}, 5000);
}
.loader{
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 9999;
background: url('//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Phi_fenomeni.gif/50px-Phi_fenomeni.gif')
50% 50% no-repeat rgb(249,249,249);
}
<div class="loader"></div>
