<!-- placeholder template fragment -->

Description
Blocks
Supported sections of a defer block. Note: only the @defer block template fragment is deferred loaded. The remaining optional blocks are eagerly loaded.
block | Description |
---|---|
@defer | The defer loaded block of content |
@placeholder | Content shown prior to defer loading (Optional) |
@loading | Content shown during defer loading (Optional) |
@error | Content shown when defer loading errors occur (Optional) |
Triggers
Triggers provide conditions for when defer loading occurs. Some allow a template reference variable as an optional parameter. Separate multiple triggers with a semicolon.
trigger | Triggers... |
---|---|
on idle | when the browser reports idle state (default) |
on viewport(<elementRef>?) | when the element enters the viewport |
on interaction(<elementRef>?) | when clicked, touched, or focused |
on hover(<elementRef>?) | when element has been hovered |
on immediate | when the page finishes rendering |
on timer(<duration>) | after a specific timeout |
when <condition> | on a custom condition |
Prefetch
Configures prefetching of the defer block used in the @defer
parameters, but does not affect rendering. Rendering is handled by the standard on
and when
conditions. Separate multiple prefetch configurations with a semicolon.
angular-html
@defer (prefetch on <trigger>; prefetch when <condition>) {
<!-- deferred template fragment -->
}
