What it does
PleaseWait is a small Javascript library that shows a beautiful loading page for your SPA while it loads.
Include the please-wait.css file in your <head> tag/in your normal workflow. You can include the please-wait.js file at the end of your body, but above your other <script> tag(s) if you like. This allows you to use PleaseWait immediately and show a loading page while the browser downloads the rest of your Javascript. Of course, this is optional. Feel free to roll the PleaseWait library into your normal, minified JS file if you prefer. Optional: If your initial template has some styled HTML by default (like a toolbar), you'll probably want to hide that, or your users could see a quick flash of your normal template, followed by the loading screen. This is easy to do by wrapping the HTML in…from pathgather.github.io
