Pace.js load progress bar for Ember apps, incl. initial scripts lazy loading

Demo ➜

Installation

Using latest Ember-cli, run the command:

ember install ember-cli-pace

or for older versions:

npm install ember-cli-pace && ember g pace

Flash-like initial script loading

Due to application scripts loading may take some time (especially, using mobile networks or ADSL), Ember-cli-pace can load them asynchronously displaying correctly computed progress bar. To enable that feature, just change src attribute to pace-src in your app.html.

<script pace-src="assets/vendor.js"></script>
<script pace-src="assets/app.js"></script>

Therefore, the scripts will be loaded via AJAX, which allows to compute loaded vs total bytes ratio. If your scripts are located on separate host, please note CORS policy.
