This plugin provides a way to show the whole content of the page only when all images are loaded, or alternatively shows a loader image placeholder until the image is fully loaded.
- Needed Files : js/smart-loader.min.js
- smart-loader-loaders folder
$(function () {
$(document).smartLoader({
// main control option can be **document** or **images**
// the first check the whole document and than calls the callback,
// the second does the same but place into every image that is waiting to be
// fully loaded an animated gif
theControl: 'document',
// **howManySeconds** is the maximum time you want to wait for
// images to be fully loaded expressed in milliseconds.
// After this amount of time the function throws the **errorCallback**
howManySeconds: 5000,
// **lengthOfLoop** this is the time delay between every single check loop,
// expressed in milliseconds, should be no less than 200.
lengthOfLoop: 200,
// the callback in case any image is successfully loaded
callback: function () {
$('#smart-dimmer').fadeOut(1000);
console.log('this is the callback');
},
// the callback in case there was one or more images
// that failed to load in the prefixed amount of time
errorCallback: function () {
$('#smart-dimmer').fadeOut(1000);
console.log('missing images');
}
});
});Place this line of code in your main js file.
$(function () {
$(document).smartLoader({
theControl: 'document',
howManySeconds: 5000,
lengthOfLoop: 200,
callback: function () {
$('#your-dimmer').fadeOut(1000);
console.log('this is the callback');
},
errorCallback: function () {
$('#your-dimmer').fadeOut(1000);
console.log('missing images');
}
});
});This is the HTML for a basic dimmer that hides the webpage content until all the images are succesfully loaded.
<!-- this is the loader copy and place it after the <body> tag -->
<div id="your-dimmer">
<!-- loader image -->
<!-- Chose one of the images provided in the "smart-loader-loaders" folder -->
<img src="smart-loader-loaders/SmartLoader30.gif">
</div>
<!-- this is the loader END -->The css for the dimmer.
#your-dimmer {
display : block;
position : fixed;
height : 100%;
width : 100%;
top : 0;
left : 0;
z-index : 200000;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 30%;
background: #fff;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 15px #767676;
}In this mode the plugin doesn't need further configuration, provided you've placed all the files and folders in the right place.
$(function () {
$(document).smartLoader({
theControl: 'images',
howManySeconds: 5000,
lengthOfLoop: 200,
callback: function () {
console.log('this is the callback');
},
errorCallback: function () {
console.log('missing images');
}
});
});Marco Temperilli has designed a couple of nice loader, with different dimensions and in future we are going to give you even more choices, and options. This folder has to be placed in your website root.
