Preloader for POST HTTP Request node

Dashboard
1

Hi,

Do we have any option to show "Please Wait" on dashboard UI while Post request is completing and getting the return msg back.

As if we are not letting end user know that request is in process he may think the application is not working.
Please help.

Thanks

You can do whatever you want. :slight_smile:

Set a "please wait" icon/text/whatever visible at the same time as you make the request.

Once the request outputs a value, hide the "please wait"

Or use a Notification node to show a message, which can then be cleared as described in the help text for the node.

Apologies, I am new with node-red. Could you please explain how to "Set a "please wait" icon/text/" on nod-red UI

Thanks

If you have to ask that then I suggest using the notification node, which should be much simpler. Just send it a message when the wait starts and clear it when it finishes.
