<DocusaurusDoc>

The **LoadingStatus** context is used to set loading status across the FreeSewing web UI.

<Popout type="tip">
As with all React context, the provider should wrap the content in which you
want to use the context.

When using one of the high-level wrappers like
[DocusaurusDoc](/reference/packages/react/components/docusaurus/#docusaurusdoc)
or
[DocusaurusPage](/reference/packages/react/components/docusaurus/#docusauruspage)
the context provider is already loaded.
</Popout>

## Examples

## Components

The **LoadingStatus** context provides the following components:

- [LoadingStatusContext](#loadingstatuscontext)
- [LoadingStatusContextProvider](#loadingstatuscontextprovider)

### LoadingStatusContext

This is the context itself to be passed to `React.useContext()`.

```js
import { LoadingStatusContext } from '@freesewing/react/context/LoadingStatus'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const {
    loading,
    LoadingStatus,
    LoadingProgress,
    setLoadingStatus,
  } = useContext(LoadingStatusContext)

  // ...
}
```

The returned object holds the following:

### context.loading

This is a boolean that is `true` when we are currently in a loading state, or `false` when not.

### context.LoadingStatus

This is the component that renders the actual loading status message.

<Popout type="tip">
When using one of the high-level wrappers like
[DocusaurusDoc](/reference/packages/react/components/docusaurus/#docusaurusdoc)
or
[DocusaurusPage](/reference/packages/react/components/docusaurus/#docusauruspage)
the LoadingStatus component is already loaded.
As such, so you typically do not need to use this.
</Popout>

### context.LoadingProgress

This is a helper component to display a loading message with a progress bar.
Although you still need to update the loading state yourself to generate a true progress example.

<Tabs tabs="Props, Examples">
<Tab>
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Type</th>
        <th>Description</th>
        <th>Optional</th>
        <th>Default Value</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>props</td>
        <td>object</td>
        <td>All component props</td>
        <td>no</td>
        <td>`undefined`</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>props.msg</td>
        <td>string|JSX.Element</td>
        <td>The loading message</td>
        <td>yes</td>
        <td>`undefined`</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>props.val</td>
        <td>number</td>
        <td>The current progress value</td>
        <td>yes</td>
        <td>`0`</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>props.max</td>
        <td>number</td>
        <td>The maximum progress value</td>
        <td>yes</td>
        <td>`1`</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</Tab>
<Tab>
  <LoadingExamples />
</Tab>
</Tabs>

### context.setLoadingStatus

This is the method to be used to set the loading status:
```js
setLoadingStatus([
  show=false,
  msg=null,
  fade=true
  success=true,
])
```
### LoadingStatusContextProvider

This is the context provider, it does not take any props apart from `props.children`.
