Question 1

How to change the color of nanobar?

Accepted Answer

You can customize the color by overriding the CSS for the .bar class. The default background is black, but you can modify it in your stylesheet to match your theme, as shown in the README's CSS snippet.

Question 2

Nanobar vs NProgress, which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Nanobar is even smaller and simpler, ideal for minimal needs and legacy browser support. NProgress offers more features like automatic Ajax tracking but is larger. Choose based on your project's complexity and performance budget.

Question 3

How to use nanobar with React?

Accepted Answer

Install nanobar via npm, import it, and create an instance in your component's lifecycle methods. Control the progress with state updates, but note that nanobar is vanilla JS, so integration requires manual handling and may not be as smooth as framework-specific solutions.

Question 4

Does nanobar work with single-page applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, nanobar is well-suited for SPAs. You can trigger the progress bar during route changes or data fetching by calling go(percentage) at appropriate events, as suggested in the bestFor scenarios.

Question 5

How to handle multiple progress bars with nanobar?

Accepted Answer

Nanobar is designed for a single progress bar instance. For multiple bars, you would need to create separate instances and manage them independently, which is not a built-in feature and can lead to complexity.

Question 6

How to install nanobar with Bower?

Accepted Answer

Run 'bower install nanobar' in your project directory, then include the nanobar.js file in your HTML or require it in your build process. The README provides clear installation steps for package managers like Bower and npm.
