Topic: Show loading indicator on top of modal

anuragd7 free asked 5 years ago


Expected behavior I have a modal where the user can request for some data to be uploaded to the server. While the upload is on I am trying to display a loading spinner on top of the modal.

Actual behavior However when I trigger the operation the loading indicator is hidden behind the modal.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) My template code is pasted below

<div id="load-image" id="myTestModal" class="border rounded-sm z-depth-1 m-3">
  <!-- LOADING INDICATOR -->
  <app-loading-indicator *ngIf="!dataLoaded"></app-loading-indicator>
  <!--MODAL BODY-->
  <div class="modal-body d-flex row bg-gray" id="no-padding">
    <!-- LEFT HAND SIDE CONTROLS OF MODAL -->
    <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-12 px-3 py-3 bg-white">
      <!-- Switch between upload and search images -->
      <div class="switch default-switch mb-4 w-100 text-center">
        <label class="dark-grey-text">
          Upload
          <input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="searchType" />
          <span class="lever"></span> Search
        </label>
      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- RIGHT HAND SIDE PREVIEW OF MODAL -->
    <div class="col-md-8 col-xs-12">
      <h5 class="mt-3 text-center">Preview</h5>

      <div class="preview ml-auto mr-auto bg-white">
        <div class="d-flex flex-row my-2 q-text">
          <!-- <div class="d-flex flex-row  ml-3"> -->
          <h6 class="quicksand mt-4 mx-3">
            {{ index }}
          </h6>
          <h6 class="quicksand mt-4">Test Image</h6>
        </div>
        <div class="d-flex">
          <div class="blank-image mb-2" *ngIf="!diskImgURL"></div>
        </div>
        <ng-container *ngIf="diskImgURL">
          <div class="pb-3 pt-3">
            <img
              [width]="diskDWidth"
              [height]="diskDHeight"
              [src]="diskImgURL"
              class="d-block q-image"
              [ngClass]="{ 'gray-scale': !color }"
            />
          </div>
        </ng-container>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <!-- MODAL FOOTER -->
  <div
    class="modal-footer display-footer d-flex justify-content-center"
  >
    <button
      *ngIf="diskImgURL"
      type="button"
      class="btn-default z-depth-0 medium-text mb-1 tocapitalize"
      mdbBtn
      data-dismiss="modal"
      (click)="saveDiskImage()"
      mdbWavesEffect
    >
      UPLOAD
    </button>
  </div>
</div>

Hi Damian,

I tried your solution of putting the loading indicator in a div with a modal-body class. However the loading indicator is still below the modal and not visible (see picture). enter image description here

Can you please suggest what else I can try? The loading indicator is working fine on other pages and only giving a problem with the modals. Let me know if you need additional information. Thanks

Dear @anuragd

You can try to change the z-index of your indicator to some high value - for example, 10000, and check if this resolves your problem. If not, please send me your application without node_modules via email. You can find me here: d.gemza@mdbootstrap.com

Dear @anuragd7

This is caused by this, that the modal has higher z-index than your indicator. Please put your loading indicator within the div with a .modal-body class and your problem should be gone.

Best Regards,

Damian
