Getting Started

Inject the BusyService into your app's root component:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {BusyService} from 'angular2-busy';

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    providers: [BusyService],
    // ...
})
class AppComponent {
    // ...
}

Reference your promise in the ngBusy directive:

import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {Http} from '@angular/http';
import {BusyDirective} from 'angular2-busy';

@Component({
    selector: 'some',
    template: `
        <div [ngBusy]="busy"></div>
    `
})
class SomeComponent implements OnInit {
    busy: Promise<any>;

    constructor(private http: Http) {}

    ngOnInit() {
        this.busy = this.http.get('...').toPromise();
    }
}

Moreover, the subscription of an Observable is also supported:

// ...
import {Subscription} from 'rxjs';

// ...
class SomeComponent implements OnInit {
    busy: Subscription;

    // ...

    ngOnInit() {
        this.busy = this.http.get('...').subscribe();
    }
}

Directive Syntax

The ngBusy directive expects a busy thing, which means:

• A promise
• Or an Observable's subscription
• Or an array of them
• Or a configuration object

In other words, you may use flexble syntax:

<!-- Simple syntax -->
<div [ngBusy]="busy"></div>

<!-- Collection syntax -->
<div [ngBusy]="[busyA, busyB, busyC]"></div>

<!-- Advanced syntax -->
<div [ngBusy]="{busy: busy, message: 'Loading...', backdrop: false, delay: 200, minDuration: 600}"></div>

Options

Option	Required	Default	Details
busy	Required	null	A busy thing (or an array of busy things) that will cause the loading indicator to show.
message	Optional	'Please wait...'	The message to show in the indicator which will reflect the updated values as they are changed.
backdrop	Optional	true	A faded backdrop will be shown behind the indicator if true.
template	Optional	A default template string	If provided, the custom template will be shown in place of the default indicatory template. The scope can be augmented with a {{message}} field containing the indicator message text.
delay	Optional	0	The amount of time to wait until showing the indicator. Specified in milliseconds.
minDuration	Optional	0	The amount of time to keep the indicator showing even if the busy thing was completed quicker. Specified in milliseconds.
wrapperClass	Optional	'ng-busy'	The name(s) of the CSS classes to be applied to the wrapper element of the indicator.

Overriding Defaults

The default values of options can be overriden by assigning your custom configuration to the BusyService.

In your app's root component, you can do this:

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {BusyService} from 'angular2-busy';

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    providers: [BusyService],
    // ...
})
class AppComponent {
    constructor(private busyService: BusyService) {
        busyService.config = {
            message: 'Don\'t panic!',
            backdrop: false,
            template: `
            	<div>{{message}}</div>
            `,
            delay: 200,
            minDuration: 600,
            wrapperClass: 'my-class'
        };
    }
}

FAQ

The indicator's position is not inside the ngBusy container

You may add position: relative style to your ngBusy container.

TODO

• Provide custom animations for the indicator

• Unit & E2E test
