Ajaxspin

A simple asset gem that provide an out-of-the box ajax status spin indicator compatible with turbolinks and jquery/jquery_ujs events without any modification.

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile assets group:

gem 'coffee-rails'
gem 'spinjs-rails'
gem 'ajaxspin'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ajaxspin

Add to your application.js or application.js.coffee:

#= require jquery.spin
#= require ajaxspin

Then, in somewhere, bind it to your ready and/or page:change events:

$(document).ready ->
  $('.navbar').ajaxSpin()

The following events are already binded:

• showEvents: ajax:before, page:fetch and ajaxStart
• hideEvents: ajax:complete, page:change and ajaxComplete

You can easily modify this behavior (and the spin.js behavior) passing your events as options:

$('.navbar').ajaxSpin
  showEvents: 'ajax:before page:fetch ajaxStart myCustomShowEvent'
  hideEvents: 'ajax:complete page:change ajaxComplete myCustomHideEvent'
  spinjsOpts:
    lines: 7
    length: 6
    width: 3
    radius: 5
    corners: 1
    rotate: 0
    color: '#000'
    speed: 1.1
    trail: 100
    shadow: false
    hwaccel: false
    className: 'spinner'
    zIndex: 2e9
    top: 'auto'
    left: 'auto'

That's all.
