Rocket Loader

An animated loader graphic module.

Getting Started

Install via NPM.

npm install rocket-loader

NOTE that this module has a dependency Rocket Tools (28kb) which will automatically be installed as well.

Start by including the necessary files.

<head>
   <link href="rocket-loader/css/loader.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
   <!-- Your content goes here -->
   <script src="rocket-tools/js/tools.min.js"></script> 
   <script src="rocket-loader/js/loader.min.js"></script> 
</body>

Basic Example

Below is an example of executing the module complete with required HTML and Javascript.

<div id="example"></div>
<button id="remove">Remove Loader</button>
 
<!-- Scripts -->
<script>
const loader = Rocket.loader({
   target: '#example',
   body: 'Loading Something'
});
 
Rocket.event.add('#remove', 'click', () => { loader.remove(); });
</script> 

Javascript Options

See the different options you have available on module call.

Name Default Options Description
target Set the HTML target. Can also be an element.
append false true false Append the loader to the target element as opposed to hiding.
body NOTE that an empty value will display no text.
colour grey-blue aqua black blue green grey-blue grey-blue-dark orange pink purple red white yellow Set the loader colour.
delay 0 Set a delay (in seconds) on the loader showing.
size normal small normal large Set the size of the loader and its padding.
type spinner dots pulse spinner Set the loader type.

Defaults

You can also overwrite the options globally by altering the Rocket defaults. To do so reference the defaults object property, for example:

Rocket.defaults.loader.body = 'Loading';
Rocket.defaults.loader.type = 'dots';

Rebuilding Files

In order to rebuild production files you will first need to install the Rocket Command Line Tool. To do so run the following npm command in your terminal. NOTE that this package is installed globally and can take a while as it has quite a few dependencies.

npm install rocket-command -g

Once installed navigate to the Rocket Loader root and run the following command:

rocket build

The relevant minified CSS and JS will now be rebuilt.
