Dataview Loader

Content Type: Widget

Categories: Utility,User Interface

Overview

When you retrieve large amounts of data, especially with integrations, it takes a while for the pages to load, and the Users can't see or do anything. Mendix shows a loader until ALL data is retrieved, and only then it shows the complete page. Wouldn't it be better if we could show the User part of the page as it loads, and then the rest once the retrieve over integration is complete? This widget allows you to show the User parts of the page directly data is retrieved, with individual elements showing a loader.

*UPDATE: widget is not longer supported. There are 2 alternatives available: https://github.com/appronto/DataviewLoader/releases/download/4.0/DataViewLoaderAlternative.mpk

Dataview Loader widget

This widget is no longer working.

We attached a example project with 2 alternatives:

https://github.com/appronto/DataviewLoader/releases/download/4.0/DataViewLoaderAlternative.mpk

Default out-of-the-box Mendix components A listview + nanoflow + microflow
Skeleton widget: https://marketplace.mendix.com/link/component/119807

Both solutions needs a boolean to determine if loading is completed.
