[ Percent ](https://laravel-datatables.com/docs/formatter-percent) Loading Indicator ================= You can now reference a custom loading indicator view directly from your datatable class, without publishing and overriding package partials. Configure a Custom Loading Indicator View ----------------------------------------- Set loadingIndicatorView on your datatable to reference your own Blade view. Datatable property PHP `public ?string $loadingIndicatorView = 'components.datatable.loading-indicator';` ``` public ?string $loadingIndicatorView = 'components.datatable.loading-indicator'; ``` resources/views/components/datatable/loading-indicator.blade.php BLADE ` {{ __('Updating table data...') }} ` ``` {{ __('Updating table data...') }} ``` When loadingIndicatorView is null or missing, the package falls back to the theme default loading indicator automatically. Optional: Override Package Loading Partial ------------------------------------------ If you need theme-specific structural control, you can still publish and override the package loading partials. terminal `php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-datatable-views" --provider="MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\LaravelDatatableServiceProvider"` ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-datatable-views" --provider="MorrowIt\LaravelDatatable\LaravelDatatableServiceProvider" ``` Published override targets TEXT `resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/tailwind/partials/loading-indicator.blade.phpresources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/bootstrap/partials/loading-indicator.blade.php` ``` resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/tailwind/partials/loading-indicator.blade.php resources/views/vendor/laravel-datatable/themes/bootstrap/partials/loading-indicator.blade.php ``` Package loading partial paths TEXT `vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/loading-indicator.blade.phpvendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/bootstrap/partials/loading-indicator.blade.php` ``` vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/tailwind/partials/loading-indicator.blade.php vendor/morrow-it/laravel-datatable/resources/views/themes/bootstrap/partials/loading-indicator.blade.php ``` Keep loading indicators lightweight and non-blocking so keyboard and assistive users can continue reading existing table content while updates run. © 2026 Copyright (C) [ Morrow IT Consulting & Services ](https://morrow-it.services) [Terms of Service](https://laravel-datatables.com/legal/terms) [Privacy](https://laravel-datatables.com/legal/privacy) [Legal Disclosure](https://laravel-datatables.com/legal/disclosure)
