showSpinner(document.getElementById('container'));
// hideSpinner() method is used to hide the spinner
hideSpinner(document.getElementById('container'));Refer to the following example.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { DocumentEditorContainerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor'
import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DocumentEditorContainerComponent, ImageFormat, ToolbarService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor';
import { showSpinner ,hideSpinner,createSpinner} from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';
@Component({
imports: [
DocumentEditorContainerModule
],
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-container',
// specifies the template string for the DocumentEditorContainer component
template: `<button id='export'(click)="onClick(this)">Export</button><ejs-documenteditorcontainer id="container" #documenteditor_default serviceUrl="https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/" height="600px" style="display:block" [enableToolbar]=true> </ejs-documenteditorcontainer>`,
