busy-load

A simple, but flexible loading-mask plugin for jQuery.

  • Overlay
    • choose an animation, like fade or slide in
    • fiddle around with plenty of customization options
  • Spinners
    • css - select from a collection of pure css-spinners from Tobias Ahlin
    • image - use an image as a spinner
    • custom - pass in your custom jQuery-Element
    • fontawesome - just use the library-icons
  • Text
    • show some text
    • position it on top, bottom, left or right of the spinner
    • customize your text, like color, margin, size ...
  • ES6
    • because busy-load is completely written in ES6, you can simply require or import it

Demo

You can find some examples here.

Getting started

Add jQuery

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script> 

then busy-load

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/busy-load/dist/app.min.js"></script> <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/busy-load/dist/app.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> 

and call the plugin from your element

$("#some-element").busyLoad("show");  // with options $("#another-element").busyLoad("show", { 	background: "#000", 	spinner: "cube", 	animation: "slide" }); 
$("#some-element").busyLoad("hide");    // with options $("#another-element").busyLoad("hide", {   animation: "fade" }); 

Hint

The overlay gets an absolute position, so if your caller element has a position of static, busy-load will turn it into relative.

Installation

cdn

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/busy-load/dist/app.min.js"></script> <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/busy-load/dist/app.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> 

npm

npm i busy-load 
  • HINT: busy-load imports its scss to the bundle, so you will need a sass-loader.

import

import 'busy-load';  

require

require('busy-load');  

copy

  • You'll find a normal and a minified version of the js-& css file inside the dist-folder. You can copy them wherever you'd like and include them by a link- and script-tag.
