Displaying loader while meteor collection loads

Question

I have a template, task_list, that looks like this:

{{#each tasks}}
    {{> task}}
{{/each}}

Template.task_list.tasks

Answer 1

There have been some nice packages released in the meantime. Check out these two:

1. Spin - displays a spinning wheel. With Iron Router, you can specify a loading template which shows the spinning wheel.
2. Iron Router Progress - shows a progress bar on the top of the page (Youtube style)

They both work pretty much out of the box, have a look at their documentation for more advanced options.
