Vue-loadover NPM

vue-loadover

vue-loadover is a collection of components for Vue.js that provide loading state inside your templates. Wrap any template node that should have a loading state in one of the vue-loadover components.

Quick start

1. Install `vue-loadover`

npm install vue-loadover

2. Use in your templates

Display a full-size loading overlay on top of your component, controlled by the loading data prop.

<template>
  <load-over :loading="loading">
    <div>Hello World!</div>
  </load-over>
</template>

<script>
import { LoadOver } from 'vue-loadover';

export default {
  components: {
    LoadOver
  },
  data() {
    return { loading: true };
  },
  mounted() {
    // Display loading screen for 5 seconds
    setTimeout(() => (this.loading = false), 5000);
  }
};
</script>

See the examples for a deeper look on how to use LoadOver and other components.

Usage

vue-loadover components are designed to wrap the DOM nodes in your templates providing an easy mechanism to display a loading state on your components.

All vue-loadover components have a loading prop that can be set to control the state of the loading component.

Props

Name	Type	Required	Default
`loading`	`Boolean`	:white_check_mark:

LoadOver

The LoadOver component displays a semi-transparent overlay with an animated spinner in the center when loading is true.

<template>
  <load-over :loading="loading">
    Hello World!
  </load-over>
</template>

LoadOver uses slots to overlay a white <div> on top of its children nodes. The animated spinner will scale with its content to a maximum size of 64x64 pixels.

:warning: The overlay is an absolutely positioned sibling of your content. Be careful when designing your layout.

LoadInto

The LoadInto component injects an animated spinner in the center of the its child node, displayed when loading is true.

<template>
  <main>
    <load-into :loading="loading">
      <span>Hello World!</span>
    </load-into>
  </main>
</template>

The spinner is inside an absolutely positioned <div> that is injected inside your component. When loading is true, LoadInto hides all other children and displays the spinner animation.

:warning: Because the spinner animation is injected directly inside your component, LoadInto must have a single (non-text) child node. Using a text node or more than one node will result in undefined behavior.
