function useLoading()

It's it.

@Akemi-Madoka Thanks for your reply, but can you provide more details? I didn't find anything about the useLoading function in the forge and electron documents.

NoNoNoNo, This from forge template, You should open your project open preload.ts, or preload.js There is a function， return HTML strings， Default name is 'useLoading'。 `/**

• https://projects.lukehaas.me/css-loaders

• https://matejkustec.github.io/SpinThatShit */ function useLoading() { const className = loaders-css__square-spin const styleContent = @keyframes square-spin { 25% { transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(180deg) rotateY(0); } 50% { transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(180deg) rotateY(180deg); } 75% { transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(0) rotateY(180deg); } 100% { transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(0) rotateY(0); } } .${className} > div { animation-fill-mode: both; width: 50px; height: 50px; background: #fff; animation: square-spin 3s 0s cubic-bezier(0.09, 0.57, 0.49, 0.9) infinite; } .app-loading-wrap { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100vw; height: 100vh; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; background: #282c34; z-index: 9; } const oStyle = document.createElement('style') const oDiv = document.createElement('div')

  oStyle.id = 'app-loading-style' oStyle.innerHTML = styleContent oDiv.className = 'app-loading-wrap' oDiv.innerHTML = <div class="${className}"><div></div></div>

  return { appendLoading() { safeDOM.append(document.head, oStyle) safeDOM.append(document.body, oDiv) }, removeLoading() { safeDOM.remove(document.head, oStyle) safeDOM.remove(document.body, oDiv) }, } }

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------

const { appendLoading, removeLoading } = useLoading() domReady().then(appendLoading)

window.onmessage = ev => { ev.data.payload === 'removeLoading' && removeLoading() }

setTimeout(removeLoading, 4999)`

You can at least swap out this loading gif in the installer via the https://js.electronforge.io/interfaces/_electron_forge_maker_squirrel.InternalOptions.SquirrelWindowsOptions.html#loadingGif option. I don't know if there's an additional API option to remove it at the moment.

@erickzhao Thank you for your reply. Yes, I saw the documentation for the loadingGif option, but as you said, this option is required and cannot be deleted.

@Akemi-Madoka Thank you for your help, but when I added the useLoading function, nothing changed and it still appeared. I tried to add log in the useLoading function and found that it was not executed.

I also encountered this problem and this topic helped me solve many problems. Thanks But I still have a question, The template generated by the official command we used, npm init electron-app@latest my-new-app -- --template=vite

Nothing is added. Terminal execution npm run make Packaged Windows installer, click Execute, why does it open my application directly instead of executing the installer?

Have you encountered this problem?
