How to use loader in Website front page:-


1)  Create the Html page and define two different <div> tag one for loader and another for complete site content.



<div id="loader"></div>

<div style="display:none;" id="myDiv" class="animate-bottom">

   All Site Content


</div>



2) Write Style to manage loader or we can place the image under it.


<style>

/* Center the loader */

#loader {

  position: absolute;

  left: 50%;

  top: 50%;

  z-index: 1;

  width: 150px;

  height: 150px;

  margin: -75px 0 0 -75px;

  border: 16px solid #f3f3f3;

  border-radius: 50%;

  border-top: 16px solid #3498db;

  width: 120px;

  height: 120px;

  -webkit-animation: spin 2s linear infinite;

  animation: spin 2s linear infinite;

}


@-webkit-keyframes spin {

  0% { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); }

  100% { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); }

}


@keyframes spin {

  0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }

  100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }

}


/* Add animation to "page content" */

.animate-bottom {

  position: relative;

  -webkit-animation-name: animatebottom;

  -webkit-animation-duration: 1s;

  animation-name: animatebottom;

  animation-duration: 1s

}


@-webkit-keyframes animatebottom {

  from { bottom:-100px; opacity:0 } 

  to { bottom:0px; opacity:1 }

}


@keyframes animatebottom { 

  from{ bottom:-100px; opacity:0 } 

  to{ bottom:0; opacity:1 }

}


#myDiv {

  display: none;

  text-align: center;

}

</style>


3)Use onload event underbody and call function into it.


<body onload="myFunction()">



4)  Define javascript function to implement loader.


<script>

var myVar;


function myFunction() {

  myVar = setTimeout(showPage, 3000);

}


function showPage() {

  document.getElementById("loader").style.display = "none";

  document.getElementById("myDiv").style.display = "block";

}

</script>

}


@keyframes spin {

    Good day Shiva Gautam. Thank you very much for this post, it makes real good sense. I tried to implement it in my Django Template, the base.html, so that it can reflect on all pages. But it only works when I open the website. It does not work on any other page. A nudge to know how to implement it across all pages will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

Uncontrolled form input in React-JS

  Uncontrolled form input in React-JS? If we want to take input from users without any separate event handling then we can uncontrolled the data binding technique. The uncontrolled input is similar to the traditional HTML form inputs. The DOM itself handles the form data. Here, the HTML elements maintain their own state that will be updated when the input value changes. To write an uncontrolled component, you need to use a ref to get form values from the DOM. In other words, there is no need to write an event handler for every state update. You can use a ref to access the input field value of the form from the DOM. Example of Uncontrolled Form Input:- import React from "react" ; export class Info extends React . Component {     constructor ( props )     {         super ( props );         this . fun = this . fun . bind ( this ); //event method binding         this . input = React . createRef ();...
