ion-loading
An overlay that can be used to indicate activity while blocking user interaction. The loading indicator appears on top of the app's content, and can be dismissed by the app to resume user interaction with the app. It includes an optional backdrop, which can be disabled by setting showBackdrop: false
upon creation.
Basic Usage
Once presented, the loading indicator will display indefinitely by default. Developers can manually dismiss the loading indicator after creation by calling the dismiss()
method on the component. The onDidDismiss
function can be called to perform an action after the loading indicator is dismissed.
Alternatively, developers can configure the loading indicator to dismiss automatically after a specific amount of time by passing the number of milliseconds to display it in the duration
of the loading options.
Controller
Inline
Ionic React and Ionic Vue users also have the option to use the ion-loading
component directly in their template.
- React
- Vue
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { IonLoading, IonButton, IonContent } from '@ionic/react';
export const LoadingExample: React.FC = () => {
const [showLoading, setShowLoading] = useState(false);
return (
<IonContent>
<IonButton onClick={() => setShowLoading(true)}>Show Loading</IonButton>
<IonLoading
cssClass="my-custom-class"
isOpen={showLoading}
onDidDismiss={() => setShowLoading(false)}
message={'Please wait...'}
duration={5000}
/>
</IonContent>
);
};
<template>
<ion-content>
<ion-button @click="setOpen(true)">Show Loading</ion-button>
<ion-loading
:is-open="isOpenRef"
cssClass="my-custom-class"
message="Please wait..."
:duration="timeout"
@didDismiss="setOpen(false)"
>
</ion-loading>
</ion-content>
</template>
<script lang="ts">
import { IonButton, IonContent, IonLoading } from '@ionic/vue';
import { defineComponent, ref } from 'vue';
export default defineComponent({
props: {
timeout: { type: Number, default: 1000 },
},
components: { IonButton, IonContent, IonLoading },
setup() {
const isOpenRef = ref(false);
const setOpen = (state: boolean) => (isOpenRef.value = state);
return { isOpenRef, setOpen };
},
});
</script>
Customization
Spinners
The spinner that is used can be customized using the spinner
property. See the spinner property documentation for a full list of options.
Theming
Loading uses scoped encapsulation, which means it will automatically scope its CSS by appending each of the styles with an additional class at runtime. Overriding scoped selectors in CSS requires a higher specificity selector.
We recommend passing a custom class and using that to add custom styles to the host and inner elements.
ion-loading
is presented at the root of your application, so we recommend placing any ion-loading
styles in a global stylesheet.
