How to set animation on first element on loading?


I am using Angular2 with SystemJs. I am wondering how can I set some animation (like fade-out effect) on the Loading label in this example. We can see the label before the application loads. Is there a way to add fade out effect when the content of the following changes (index.html):

  <body>
    <my-app>loading...</my-app>
  </body>

Solution

  • CSS leaves some room for improvement

    @Component({
      selector: 'my-app',
    
      template: `
        <router-outlet></router-outlet>
      `,
      directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES],
      host: { 
        '[class.loaded]': 'isLoaded',
      },
    })
    @RouteConfig([
      {path: '/',   name: 'Main View',     component: MainViewComponent}
    ])
    export class AppComponent { 
      isLoaded:boolean = false;
      constructor(){}
    
      ngAfterViewInit() {
        setTimeout(() => this.isLoaded = true, 0);
      }
    }
    
    <style>
      my-app {
        visibility: hidden;
        opacity: 0;
      }
      my-app.loaded {
        visibility: visible;
        opacity: 1;
        transition: visibility 0s 2s, opacity 2s linear;
      }
      div.spinner {
        position: absolute;
        top: 150px;
        left: 150px;
      }
    
      my-app.loaded + div.spinner {
        visibility: hidden;
        opacity: 0;
        transition: visibility 0s 2s, opacity 2s linear;
        background-color: red;
      }
    </style>
    
    <body>
      <my-app></my-app>
      <div class="spinner">loading...</div>
    </body>
