## What it is
An AngularJS directive library that displays busy/loading indicators on any element while $http, $resource requests, or arbitrary promises are pending. It supports custom templates, messages, backdrops, delay, and minimum duration options.

## Use cases
- show a loading spinner during http requests in AngularJS
- display busy indicator while a promise resolves
- show loading overlay on a specific div during data fetch
- customize loading message and template in Angular app
- prevent flickering spinners with delay and min duration
- track multiple promises with one loading indicator

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS (1.x) application needing loading indicators
- you want promise-based busy indicators with customizable templates
- you need fine control over spinner delay and minimum display duration

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern Angular (2+) application
- you use React, Vue, or other non-AngularJS frameworks
- you need a framework-agnostic spinner solution

- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, templating
