Smart Spinner Helper for React
There are a few annoyances when working with spinners. Network request can be so fast that rendering a spinner does more harm than good. Why render a spinner when loading the data only takes like 50ms?
This can be fixed by adding a delay. Only show the spinner when the request takes longer than 200ms for example. And what happens when the request takes 210ms? Right, we see a spinner for 10ms. This flicker can be annoying.
spin-delay
solves these issues by wrapping your booleans, and only returning
true after the delay
, and for a minimum time of minDuration
. This way
you're sure that you don't show unnecessary or very short living spinners.
Sandbox -> https://codesandbox.io/s/spin-delay-jlp2c
With npm:
npm install --save spin-delay
With yarn:
yarn add spin-delay
The examples below use the following data object:
import { useSpinDelay } from 'spin-delay';
function MyComponent() {
const [{ loading }] = useFetch('http://example.com');
// options are optional, and default to these values
const showSpinner = useSpinDelay(loading, { delay: 500, minDuration: 200 });
if (showSpinner) {
return <Spinner />;
}
// ...
}
