Question 1

How do I change the spinner style in fakeLoader.js?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'spinner' option during initialization to one of the seven values like 'spinner1' to 'spinner7', for example: $.fakeLoader({spinner: 'spinner2'});. This allows quick swapping of visual styles without CSS changes.

Question 2

Can I use fakeLoader.js with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes with jQuery integration, but it's not recommended; for modern frameworks, use native loading components or libraries like React Loadable or Vue Loading Overlay for better performance and maintainability.

Question 3

How to make fakeLoader.js disappear after page load?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'timeToHide' option in milliseconds to set when the loader fades out, e.g., $.fakeLoader({timeToHide: 2000});. Alternatively, bind it to JavaScript events like window.onload for more control.

Question 4

What's better: fakeLoader.js or Pace.js for jQuery loading?

Accepted Answer

fakeLoader.js excels in simplicity and predefined spinners, while Pace.js offers progress bars and automatic detection. Choose fakeLoader.js for basic animations, Pace.js for detailed loading progress in complex apps.

Question 5

Does fakeLoader.js support custom background images?

Accepted Answer

No, it only supports solid background colors via the 'bgColor' option; for images, you would need to override the CSS manually or use a different plugin that allows background customization.

Question 6

How to install fakeLoader.js with npm?

Accepted Answer

Install using 'npm i jq-fakeloader', then include the CSS and JS files from node_modules as per the README. Ensure jQuery is already loaded in your project for it to work correctly.
