jQuery .load(function) and .addClass in Order to Remove Preloader is Not Working


I am currently using jQuery "addClass" and "removeClass" to remove the preloader. I want the preloader page to be removed when all web content is loaded. Setting a timeout function seems to work fine but I cannot seem to get to do the same when the entire site is finished loading, as in real time loading. Some help is highly appreciated.

//..HTML..//

<div class="loader-wrapper">
</div>

//..CSS..//

.loader-wrapper {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

.loaded .loader-wrapper {
-webkit-transform: translateY(120%);
-ms-transform: translateY(120%);
transform: translateY(120%);
-webkit-transition: all 1s 0.5s ease-out;
transition: all 1s 0.5s ease-out;
}

//..jQuery..//

<script>
  $("body").removeClass('loaded');
</script>

<script>
$( window ).load(function() {
 $("body").addClass('loaded');
});
</script>


//..For reference this works perfectly..//

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

setTimeout(function() {
$("body").addClass('loaded');
}, 1800)

});
</script>

Solution

  • You can use a library, that validates when all images are loaded. For example imagesLoaded.

    So your code may look something like that:

    // DOM is ready
    $(function() {
        // We have to make sure that all of the images are loaded in the container
        $('body').imagesLoaded( function() {
            // Images are loaded
            $('.loader').hide();
            $('img').show();
        });
    });
    img {
        display: none
    }
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.js"></script>
    <script src="https://npmcdn.com/[email protected]/imagesloaded.pkgd.js"></script>
    
    <span class='loader'>Loading ...</span>
    <img width="200" src="https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-logo.png?v=9c558ec15d8a" />
