Question

For showing a loading screen, we listen to the jQuery ajaxStart() event the following way:

    $(document).ajaxStart(function() {
        //show loading screen
    });

However, this event doesn’t get fired sending forge.reques.ajax() requests (at least is seems so).

Is there already a solution like that for forge or do I have to write that event by hand?

This doesn’t currently exist in forge, but its pretty easy to implement:

var onAjaxStart = function () {
    // show loading screen
}
var onAjaxEnd = function () {
    // hide loading screen
}
var myAjax = function (params) {
    onAjaxStart();
    var success = params.success;
    params.success = function () {
        onAjaxEnd();
        success && success();
    };
    forge.request.ajax(params);
}

Then us myAjax(…) instead of forge.request.ajax(…).
