import { NgMaterialLoadingModule } from 'ng-material-loading';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...
    NgMaterialLoadingModule.forRoot(),
    ],
  declarations: [],
  providers: []
})

Then in template:

  <mat-form-field [ngMatLoading]="loading$ | async" ngMatLoadingType="progress">
    <input matInput/>
  </mat-form-field>

or

  <mat-card>
    <mat-card-header>
      <mat-card-title>Plane text</mat-card-title>
      <mat-card-subtitle>Spinner</mat-card-subtitle>
    </mat-card-header>

    <mat-card-content [ngMatLoading]="loading$ | async">
      <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
    </mat-card-content>
  </mat-card>

Options

Configuration

You can configure default ng-material-loading options:

NgMaterialLoadingModule.forRoot({
  opacity: 0.45,
  type: 'progress',
  ...
})

The configuration interface looks like this:

export interface NgMatLoadingConfig {
  opacity?: number; // Content opacity when the loading indicator is imposed
  diameter?: number; // Spinner diameter in pixels
  color?: 'primary' | 'warn' | 'accent'; //Loading indicator color
  type?: 'spinner' | 'progress'; // Loading indicator type
  attacheTo?: { [key: string]: string; } // host to target map (see below)
  freeze?: boolean; // Whether to make content inactive while loading
  position?: 'absolute' | 'relative' | 'sticky' // Loading indicator CSS position
}

In attacheTo object you can list selector to which loading indicator should be attached for some commonly encountered host elements.

The positionconfig option, if not set, depends on loading idicator type. For spinner position is absolute while for progress bar position is sticky by default.
