@@raviteja8798 ok, let me go through your problem in detail and see what the issue might be

[@ZoaibKhan]

@@raviteja8798 Hey! So after going your message in detail, it seems your problem is with the long-running API call on Component A. Ideally, you should add a way for the API call to be cancelled once the user navigates away from the component - because it's no longer needed. Here's a link for a possible solution: www.freakyjolly.com/angular-how-to-cancel-http-calls-on-router-change/ If you do need the data from the API call - then maybe you should use a global service with another behavior subject and load it there and add an exception in the interceptor - where the spinner doesn't show for this specific call. I'd suggest though to review this 1 minute long API call - because it would be pretty bad for user experience, besides creating this spinner problem... Hope this helps.

thank you so much , if settimeout for loading Spinner , what i do , please support

[@ZoaibKhan]

You're welcome, Vu! Can you describe in more detail, why do you want the settimeout for the loading spinner?

[@vuduyanh7791]

@@ZoaibKhan tks your , i do it success , However , I'm getting an error NG0100: ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError: Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'false'. Current value: 'true'.. your can help me .

[@ZoaibKhan]

Yes, this just appears in development and does not really affect the functionality much. But still, you can make a small change in the service on this line: loading$ = this._loading.asObservable().pipe(delay(1)); This is similar to setTimeout - using the RxJS delay operator instead because it looked cleaner to me. This should clear the error in development.

Good tutorial

[@amalrajp83]

Hi Useful video👍. One qn , Will this work properly if multiple calls are done at same time?

[@ZoaibKhan]

Hey Amal! Good question :) The answer is no. To allow multiple calls at same time, we'll need to increment and decrement a counter on start and end of API calls in the interceptor. Then, only hide the spinner when counter is 0 i.e. no calls are in process. Hope that helps

Need more vedios..

[@JamesMooreDev]

I get the following error message. NG0100: ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError: Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'false'. Current value: 'true'.. This is something to do with the loading$ variable in my app.component.html. Just wondering if anyone knows a fix for this.

[@ZoaibKhan]

Hey James! It is a development time error only and the quickest fix for it will be to add a small delay so that the the loading value is updated in the next change detection cycle. If you look at the latest code (link in description), I've already fixed that there. Hope that helps!

Those who are facing error expression changed please add this : public readonly loading$ = this._loading.asObservable().pipe(delay(1));
