Spin Loader

This is a Gem based on Spin.js to create a big semi-transparent full screen loader with a spinner in the center.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'spin_loader'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install spin_loader

In your app/assets/javascripts/application.js file, add the following line:

//= require spin_loader

In your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css file, add the following line:

 *= require spin_loader

In your coffeescript files, add the following:

root = exports ? this

Now, you have 2 commands, one to start the loader e other to stop the loader.

// This starts the loader
root.start_loading()

// This stops the loader
root.stop_loading()

Run the generator:

$ rails g spin_loader:install

This will generate the file config/spin_loader_config.yml. Edit this file according to Spin.js.

For changes on the config file to happen, you need to run rake tmp:clear.
