In the recent years, the science of UX (User Experience) has been slowly growing and more and more Web developers are implementing UX friendly features on their sites.
One of the basic principles of UX design is the constant information stream between the user and the application he uses. This means the app always has to let the user know if something is going on, so he won't be confused or lose interest in what he's doing.
This means that recent practices like YouTube's loading bar while loading a new video are not only beautiful and obviously useful, they are also based in real-life UX studies.
A tool like ngProgressLite will help any AngularJS developer looking into expanding his app's UX by letting him add loading bars for all the pages he codes.
This means when the user will be loading the page, a small, slim, colored, animated line at the top of the page will let him know how much he has to wait until all the page's content has loaded.
What is new in this release:
- Fixes:
- Apply progress css only to the container's first child (allows inserting additional divs into the container. An example use case for this would be the addition of a spinner, like the one in the original nprogress).
- Drop unnecessary $timeout dependency and use native setTimeout instead (as we only change css but not the scope, there's no need to run a digest cycle with $apply() inside $timeout service).
Requirements:
- JavaScript enabled on client side
- AngularJS
