Is there any built in "Loading spin" for data loading? about nebular

Sorry, I just found https://akveo.github.io/nebular/#/docs/services/spinnerservice but not sure how to use it yet...

There was also a PR adding Pace.js for a loading bar. akveo/ngx-admin#1319

I've also used the ng-progressbar package which works fine. you'll have to remove the spinner from index.html if you're using ngx-admin though

Not sure you would want to do that as you would loose the beginning loading screen. I'm using both. The spinner for the first load and the progress bar for in app loading

do you have solution for hooking up pace to your http requests? i was having issues with that approach, that's why i brought in ng-progress

edit: pace was working well for navigating to a new page. when i tried hooking up to http requests the whole page would reload and I couldn't trigger pace when the request started.

@jarredszabadi I haven't gotten to worrying about that just yet, I'm still building out my forms and pages, as well as working on getting the authentication working right, I see nixxa added a pr to merge his updated auth docs, so i'm looking at that now. I found this for pace and stored it in my list of items to get to. I haven't tested, and i'm not sure where to put this just yet, but maybe it will help you get started. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42236286/pace-track-http-requests-in-angularjs

Thanks @blankstar85

In the meantime I added ng-progress and got it working with the spinner. ng-progress is solid in that there's no configuration needed to have it show when you perform a web request. Much like you when the other stuff on my to do list is done I'll come back to getting pace working.

@jarredszabadi np, i'll post what i find here if I get to it before you. looking around real quick it appears it needs to be above the html script import. so maybe in the index file at the start of the head section, since angular cli takes care of adding all the import statements later.

Edit: got sidetracked with this lol, On another look https://github.com/HubSpot/pace its no longer maintained.

Closing as it's added to component plans #336
