The Kendo UI Loader for PHP is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI Loader widget.

Getting Started

The Loader provides a set of default API configuration options that can be set during its initialization. Follow the steps below to configure the Kendo UI Loader for PHP:

Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps in the introductory article on Telerik UI for PHP—include the autoloader, JavaScript, and CSS files.

Step 2 Create a Loader:

Step 3 Output the Loader by echoing the result of the render method:

   <?= $loader->render() ?>

    <?php

        $loader->type('infinite-spinner');
    
        echo $loader->render();
    ?>

    <?php
        $loaderInfo = new \Kendo\UI\Loader('loaderInfo');
    
        $loaderInfo->themeColor('info');
    
        echo $loaderInfo->render();
    ?>
    

Size

The Loader allows you to set different sizes.

The available size values are:

  • small
  • medium (Default)
  • large

    <?php
        $loaderLarge = new \Kendo\UI\Loader('loaderLarge');
    
        $loaderLarge->themeColor('large');
    
        echo $loaderLarge->render();
    ?>
    

Reference

Client-Side Instances

To reference to an existing Loader instance, use the jQuery.data() method. Once a reference is established, use the API to control its behavior.

The following example demonstrates how to access an existing Loader instance.

    <?php
        $loader = new \Kendo\UI\Loader('loader');

        $loader->themeColor('secondary');

        echo $loader->render();
    ?>

    <script>
        $(function() {
            // The constructor parameter is used as the 'id' HTML attribute of the Loader
            var loader = $("#loader").data("kendoLoader");
        });
    </script>
