Ionic 2 custom svg spinner in loader

Question

I am trying to add my SVG to the loading create function but when I go to view it all I see is an empty tag where it should be.

let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({spinner: ' ',
            content: this.appConfig.customSpinner })

Above is my create code and that variable is hte code below for the SVG.

How can I get it to render? I have also replicated it to the ionic forum on this link

I have tried to add a pipe that will make it safe in run time but that also fails.

I made the content this:

<div [innerHTML]='appConfig.customSpinner | safe'></div>

And this is my pipe:

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Pipe({name: 'safe'})
export class SafeHtml {
  constructor(private sanitizer:DomSanitizer){}

  transform(html:any):any {
    return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(html);
  }
}

I have also tried with using a file:

let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({spinner: 'hide', content:"<object data='assets/spinner.svg' type='image/svg+xml'></object>"})

This still causes the same issue.

NB**

After changing my code I realised that you cannot assign the return value from the sanitizer inside the variable but rather a declared variable in the class. One I did this I no longer got the TS type error and the svg XML loaded.

Answer 1

The spinner content must be 'safe html', i.e. you must use bypassSecurityTrustHtml. In your case try using:

let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({spinner: ' ',
        content: this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(this.appConfig.customSpinner)
})

Check this related question.

This is my working code for html5 spinner at Ionic 3 app:

import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer){

getProgressBar(percentaje) {
    let html: string =  '<span style="text-align: center">Loading...'
    + Math.round(percentaje)+'%</span>'
    + '<br><progress value="' + percentaje + '" max="100"></progress>';
    return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(html);
    }

doSomething(){

    let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({
       spinner: 'hide',
    });
    loading.data.content = this.getProgressBar(0);
    loading.present();

   //some stuff

   loading.data.content = this.getProgressBar(progress);
   }
}

Hope it helps.

Update using svg:

let svg = `<svg width="100" height="100">
            <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="yellow" />
          </svg>`;

this.safeSvg = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(svg);

let loading = this.loadingCtrl.create({
  spinner: 'hide',
  content: this.safeSvg,
});
loading.present();
