Nativescript Loading Screen

This is my first plugin so please be kind :) :P

This plugin add a loading screen to both iOs and Android Apps.

Installation

tns plugin add nativescript-loading-screen

Usage

import { Observable } from 'tns-core-modules/data/observable';
import { LoadingScreen } from 'nativescript-loading-screen';

export class HelloWorldModel extends Observable {
  private loadingScreen: LoadingScreen;

  constructor() {
    super();
  }

  public showLoading() {
    this.loadingScreen = new LoadingScreen();

    this.loadingScreen.show({
      title: "test",
      message: "loading..."
    });

    setTimeout(() => {
      this.loadingScreen.updateMessage("Loading Change");
    }, 5000);

    setTimeout(() => {
      this.loadingScreen.close();
      const topmost = frameModule.topmost();
      topmost.navigate("details-page");
    }, 10000);

  }
}

If you plan to nativate after closing the loading screen you must do it in the resolved promise on iOS. See example below

  this.loadingScreen.close().then((result) => {
    console.log(`Result => ${result}`);

  });
