A quick and easy wrapper for retrieving information async while displaying a loader

Quick

alt text

Installation

npm install @scrumble-nl/react-quick-loader

or

yarn add @scrumble-nl/react-quick-loader

Usage

This package makes a distinction by two types of usage. 1. Retrieving data from an url 2. Passing through data manually (useful if you want one api call and multiple loaders)

Both wil pass the data to the data property to all of their children. The actual implementations are as followed:

Url variant

  1. Import QuickLoader
  2. Implement the loader by giving it a color, url and at least one child component.
  3. (optional) add errorCallback for handling the potential ajax errors
import React from 'react';
import QuickLoader from '@scrumble-nl/react-quick-loader'; // Step 1

export default class MyComponent extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
    render = (): JSX.Element => {
        return (
            <QuickLoader color="#ff9933" url='/api/user'> // Step 2
                <MyComponent/>
            </Quickloader>     
        )
    }
}

The following options can be used for customization:

NameTypeRequiredDescriptionDefault
colorstringtrueThe color for the loader
urlstringtrueThe url used to retrieve data
type'blank', 'balls', 'bars', 'bubbles', 'cubes', 'cylon', 'spin', 'spinningBubbles', 'spokes'falseThe loader typebars
errorCallback(error: any) => voidfalseThe custom callback for handling the error messageundefined

Data variant

The actual implementation is as follows: 1. Import QuickLoader 2. Implement the loader by giving it a color, data and at least one child component 1. As long as the data property is undefined it will show a loader

import React from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
import QuickLoader from '@scrumble-nl/react-quick-loader'; // Step 1

export default class MyComponent extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
    
    state = {
        userOne: undefined,
        userTwo: undefined,
    };
    
    componentDidMount = (): void => {
        axios.get('/api/user')
            .then(response => {
                this.setState({
                    userOne: response.data[0],
                    userTwo: response.data[1],
                });
            })
            .catch(error => {
                console.log(':(');
            });
    };

    render = (): JSX.Element => {
        return (
            <>
                <QuickLoader color="#ff9933" data={this.state.userOne}> // Step 2 (step 3.1)
                    <MyComponent/>
                </Quickloader>
                <QuickLoader color="#ff9933" data={this.state.userTwo}> // Step 2 (step 3.1)
                    <MyComponent/>
                </Quickloader>
            </>
        )
    }
}

The following options can be used for customization:

NameTypeRequiredDescriptionDefault
colorstringtrueThe color for the loader
dataanytrueThe data passed to the childrenundefined
type'blank', 'balls', 'bars', 'bubbles', 'cubes', 'cylon', 'spin', 'spinningBubbles', 'spokes'falseThe loader typebars

Additional customization

Next to that you can override the classes .spinner-container and .react-loading to change the look of the loader.

Roadmap

  • Packagize component
  • Improve styling customizability
  • Automated testing implementation
  • Switch from interfaces to types
  • Improve scss usage
