            const loading = await this.loadingCtrl.create({
              id: loadingId,
              message: loadingMessage,
              spinner: 'circles'
            });
            return await loading.present();
}

async dismissLoader(loadingId: string) {
  return await this.loadingCtrl.dismiss(null, null, loadingId).then(() => console.log('loading dismissed'));
}

In the component calling the loading:

await this.globalVars.showLoading('ifOfLoading')

Dismissing the loading:

this.globalVars.dismissLoader('ifOfLoading')
