This module aims to provide a simple usage of a progress bar for the HTTP requests made by Web applications that use the library axios. It's high inspired in the module angular-loading-bar and uses the awesome nprogress module to display the loading bar in the Browser.
Attention: This module is not bound to any framework. You can use it in any Web application that uses axios.
It's available through the NPM package:
npm install --save axios
npm install --save x-axios-progress-bar
Or via CDN:
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/rikmms/progress-bar-4-axios/0a3acf92/dist/index.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>Invoke (only one time) the function: loadProgressBar(config, instance).
The config argument is the configuration object for the nprogress and is not required. Its properties can be seen here.
You can pass a Custom Axios Instance as a second argument if needed, the argument is not required. If you don't set the instance argument the default axios instance will be used.
Also, you need to import the CSS file (nprogress.css) that contains the customization of the progress bar.
import { loadProgressBar } from 'x-axios-progress-bar'
loadProgressBar()
...Don't forget to import the CSS in the HTML, or through JavaScript with some module bundler like webpack.

</html>Sometimes we don't want to show the progress bar for an axios request (like UX which have degradeable typeaheads).
To prevent it from popping up for that request, you can pass in false for the progress parameter in your axios request.
axios.get('URL', { progress: false })
axios.post('URL', data, { progress: false })The CSS file contains the properties from the nprogress style. However, It's possible to override the properties or set new ones with a custom CSS.
In the next example, the custom CSS only changes the color of the progress bar and the spinner to red.

background: red !important;
}
#nprogress .peg {
box-shadow: 0 0 10px red, 0 0 5px red !important;

Write them in the repository issues.
- version 1.1.0 - Split the CSS into a separate file. With this change, it's necessary to import the minimal CSS file manually.
- version 1.2.0 - Support for custom axios instances.
