Demo Application
Steps to Add a Top Loading Bar in React
1. Project structure
- react-loading-bar
- node_modules
- public
- index.html
- src
- App.js
- index.css
- index.js
- package-lock.json
- package.json
- README.md
2. Package dependencies
To get started, we need to install the react-top-loading-bar package in our React project. Open your terminal and run the following command:
1 | npm i react-top-loading-bar |
You will find the version of the following packages in React application.
3. Implementation
Next, we need to import the LoadingBar component from the react-top-loading-bar package into our React component. Add the following import statement at the top of your file:
1 | import LoadingBar from 'react-top-loading-bar'; |
Now, let’s add the LoadingBar component to your React component using the progress variable. Here’s an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | import React, { useState } from 'react'; import LoadingBar from 'react-top-loading-bar'; const App = () => { const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0); return ( <div> <h3>How to Add a Top Loading Bar in React - <a href="https://cluemediator.com" target='_blank' rel="noopener">Clue Mediator</a></h3> <LoadingBar color='#f11946' height={3} progress={progress} onLoaderFinished={() => setProgress(0)} /> <button onClick={() => setProgress(val => val + 10)}>Add 10%</button> <button onClick={() => setProgress(val => val + 20)}>Add 20%</button> <button onClick={() => setProgress(100)}>Complete</button> </div> ); }; export default App; |
In this example, we use the useState hook to create a progress state variable that represents the loading progress. We have added three buttons. These buttons are used to simulate different loading scenarios. When clicked, they call the setProgress function to update the progress value accordingly.
4. Output
Run your application and check the output in the browser.
