Slim progress bars for Ajax'y applications. Inspired by Google, YouTube, and Medium.
Installation
Add jQuery (1.8 or above), nprogress.js and nprogress.cssto your project.
Basic usage
Simply call start()
and done()
to control the progress
bar.
NProgress.start(); NProgress.done();
Using Turbolinks or similar? Ensure you're using Turbolinks 1.3.0+, and use this: (explained here)
$(document).on('page:fetch', function() { NProgress.start(); }); $(document).on('page:change', function() { NProgress.done(); }); $(document).on('page:restore', function() { NProgress.remove(); });
Ideas
-
Add progress to your Ajax calls! Bind it to the jQuery
ajaxStart
andajaxComplete
events. -
Make a fancy loading bar even without Turbolinks/Pjax! Bind it to
$(document).ready
and$(window).load
.
Advanced usage
Percentages: To set a progress percentage, call .set(n)
,
where n is a number between 0..1
.
NProgress.set(0.0); // Sorta same as .start() NProgress.set(0.4); NProgress.set(1.0); // Sorta same as .done()
Incrementing: To increment the progress bar, just use .inc()
.
This increments it with a random amount. This will never get to 100%: use
it for every image load (or similar).
Force-done: By passing true
to done()
,
it will show the progress bar even if it's not being shown. (The default
behavior is that .done() will not do anything if .start() isn't
called)
Configuration
Change the minimum percentage using minimum
.
NProgress.configure({ minimum: 0.1 });
You can change the markup using template
. To keep the progress
bar working, keep an element with role='bar'
in there.
NProgress.configure({ template: "..." });
Adjust animation settings using ease
(a CSS easing string)
and speed
(in ms).
NProgress.configure({ ease: 'ease', speed: 500 });
Want to turn off trickling? Set trickle
to false
.
NProgress.configure({ trickle: false });
You can adjust the trickleRate
(how much to increase per trickle)
and
trickleSpeed
(how often to trickle, in ms).
NProgress.configure({ trickleRate: 0.02, trickleSpeed: 800 });
Want to turn off loading spinner? Set showSpinner
to false
.
NProgress.configure({ showSpinner: false });
Customization
Just edit nprogress.css
to your liking. Tip: you probably only
want to find and replace occurances of #29d
.
The included CSS file is pretty minimal... in fact, feel free to scrap it and make your own!
