To install this library, run:
$ npm install ng-http-loader --save / yarn add ng-http-loader
This package provides an HTTP Interceptor, and some spinner components (All from SpinKit at the moment). The HTTP interceptor listens to all HTTP requests and shows a spinner / loader indicator during pending HTTP requests.

Performing HTTP requests with the HttpClientModule
API is mandatory. Otherwise, the spinner will not be fired at all.
See this blog post for an HttpClientModule
introduction.
From your Angular AppModule
:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
// [...]
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http'; // <============
import { NgHttpLoaderModule } from 'ng-http-loader'; // <============
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
HttpClientModule, // <============ (Perform HTTP requests with this module)
NgHttpLoaderModule.forRoot(), // <============ Don't forget to call 'forRoot()'!
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
In your app.component.html, simply add:
<ng-http-loader></ng-http-loader>
If you prefer using standalone components, you should configure your ApplicationConfig
like following:
import { ApplicationConfig, importProvidersFrom } from '@angular/core';
import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router';
import { NgHttpLoaderModule } from 'ng-http-loader';
import { routes } from './app.routes';
import {provideHttpClient, withInterceptorsFromDi} from '@angular/common/http';
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [
provideRouter(routes),
provideHttpClient(
withInterceptorsFromDi() // <== Don't forget to import the interceptors
),
importProvidersFrom(NgHttpLoaderModule.forRoot()) //<== Always call `forRoot`
],
};
Then you can use ng-http-loader
like this:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import {NgHttpLoaderModule} from "ng-http-loader";
@Component({
selector: 'my-selector',
standalone: true,
imports: [
NgHttpLoaderModule
],
template: `
<ng-http-loader />`,
})
export class InlineComponent {
}
You can customize the following parameters:
- The spinner backdrop (visible by default).
- The background-color (ie. the color of the spinner itself).
- The spinner and its backdrop z-index.
- The debounce delay (ie. after how many milliseconds the spinner will be visible, if needed).
- The extra duration (ie. how many extra milliseconds should the spinner be visible).
- The minimum duration (ie. how many milliseconds should the spinner be visible at least).
- The spinner opacity.
- The backdrop background-color (ie. the color of the spinner backdrop, if enabled).
- The spinner type.
<ng-http-loader
[backdrop]="false"
[backgroundColor]="'#ff0000'"
[zIndex]=50
[debounceDelay]="100"
[extraDuration]="300"
[minDuration]="300"
[opacity]=".6"
[backdropBackgroundColor]="'#777777'"
[spinner]="spinkit.skWave">
</ng-http-loader>
To specify the spinner type this way, you must reference the Spinkit
const as a public property in your app.component.ts:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Spinkit } from 'ng-http-loader'; // <============
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent {
public spinkit = Spinkit; // <============
}
The different spinners available are referenced in this file.
Otherwise, you can reference the spinner type as a simple string:
<ng-http-loader spinner="sk-wave"></ng-http-loader>
You can define your own spinner component in place of the built-in ones. The needed steps are:
- Create your component
- Reference your component as a public property in your
app.component.ts
- Reference the predefined property in the ng-http-loader
entryComponent
component selector like this:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { AwesomeComponent } from 'my.awesome.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
public awesomeComponent = AwesomeComponent;
}
<ng-http-loader [entryComponent]="awesomeComponent"></ng-http-loader>
You can find some examples here and here.
You can filter the HTTP requests that shouldn't be caught by the interceptor by providing an array of regex patterns:
<ng-http-loader [filteredUrlPatterns]="['\\d', '[a-zA-Z]', 'my-api']"></ng-http-loader>
You can filter the HTTP requests by providing an array of HTTP methods (case insensitive):
<ng-http-loader [filteredMethods]="['gEt', 'POST', 'PuT']"></ng-http-loader>
You can also filter the HTTP requests by providing an array of HTTP headers (case insensitive):
<ng-http-loader [filteredHeaders]="['hEaDeR', 'AnoTheR-HeAdEr']"></ng-http-loader>
You can manually show and hide the spinner if needed. You must use the SpinnerVisibilityService
for this purpose.
Sometimes, when manually showing the spinner, an HTTP request could be performed in background, and when finished, the spinner would automagically disappear.
For this reason, when calling SpinnerVisibilityService#show()
, it prevents the HTTP interceptor from being triggered unless you explicitly call SpinnerVisibilityService#hide()
.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { SpinnerVisibilityService } from 'ng-http-loader';
@Component({
selector: 'my-component',
templateUrl: './my.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./my.component.css'],
})
export class MyComponent {
constructor(private spinner: SpinnerVisibilityService) {
// show the spinner
spinner.show();
//////////////
// HTTP requests performed between show && hide won't have any side effect on the spinner.
/////////////
// hide the spinner
spinner.hide();
}
}
Just use a real browser.
Each Spinkit component defined in SPINKIT_COMPONENTS can be used individually.
