A drop-in AngularJS 1.2+ module that automatically displays a loading/progress bar (with an optional spinner) whenever $http/XHR requests are in flight. It uses Angular interceptors to bundle concurrent requests and update progress without any manual state management, shipping as a tiny 2.4Kb JS file plus CSS with no jQuery dependency.

Use cases

• show a loading bar automatically during ajax requests in angular
• automatic progress bar for http calls in angularjs app
• display a spinner while waiting for xhr responses
• loading indicator for many services making independent api requests
• track progress of multiple simultaneous xhr requests
• add a top loading bar without manual state management

When to choose

• You have an AngularJS 1.x app and want a zero-configuration loading indicator for all $http requests
• You have multiple loosely-coupled services making independent XHR calls and don't want to wire up loading state by hand
• You need a tiny, jQuery-free, CSS-styled progress bar with optional spinner and 100% test coverage

When to avoid

• You're building with modern Angular (2+) rather than AngularJS 1.x
• Your requests bypass $http (e.g., fetch or third-party clients), since interceptors won't see them
• You need highly custom or per-request loading UI beyond a top bar and spinner
