How can you use sweetalert to do an Ajax call without a confirm button but still show a loading gif? Basically I want a loading gif to display while the Ajax call is running. The out-of-the-box solution requires you to enable the confirm button before the Ajax call is made.
The following obviously doesn't work:
window.swal({
title: "Checking...",
text: "Please wait",
imageUrl: "images/ajaxloader.gif",
showConfirmButton: false,
allowOutsideClick: false
},
function () {
$.getJSON('myurl').done(function (data) {
swal("", "Good job!", "success");
}).fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, err) {
swal("", "An error occurred", "error");
});
});
You don't need to do anything special. Just make your ajax call after you display swal, and call swal again when your ajax is completed.
window.swal({
title: "Checking...",
text: "Please wait",
imageUrl: "images/ajaxloader.gif",
showConfirmButton: false,
allowOutsideClick: false
});
//using setTimeout to simulate ajax request
setTimeout(() => {
window.swal({
title: "Finished!",
showConfirmButton: false,
timer: 1000
});
}, 2000);<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Using vue-sweetalert2, VueJS 2, and Axios, and built in loader animation:
let self = this;
this.$swal.fire({
title: "Processing Request...",
text: "Please wait",
onBeforeOpen() {
self.$swal.showLoading(); //Adds built in loader animation during modal open
},
onAfterClose() {
self.$swal.hideLoading(); //might not be necessary
},
allowOutsideClick: false, //makes modal behave captively
allowEscapeKey: false,
allowEnterKey: false
});
axios
.post(`/api/myapi`, {"fake": "fake"})
.then(r => {
this.$swal.update({
title: "Finished",
html: `Response data: ${r.data}`
});
this.$swal.hideLoading(); //Disables loader spinner, enables button
})
.catch(err => {
this.$swal.update({
title: "FAILED!",
text: "Something went wrong - either try again or contact support."
});
this.$swal.showValidationMessage(`Request failed: ${err}`);
this.$swal.hideLoading(); //Disables loader spinner, enables button
})
