# Custom Loader

## Do you want to use your own custom loader while Mimeeq loads its configurator?

To make the process easy we have provided a full code example below

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note this only works on Standard and Hybrid Modular configurators, it will not work for Full Modular Configurators as they have a different logic. For Product lists, use the 'mimeeq-product-list-initialized' event instead of 'mimeeq-3d-product-initialized'.
{% endhint %}

[Check here for a breakdown of the code](#code-breakdown-for-single-product)

This is the embed code, replace with your own

```html
<mmq-embed short-code="U1X94N" template="Default-MDEMO" locale="en"></mmq-embed>

<script src="https://cdn.mimeeq.com/read_models/embed/app-embed.js" rel="script" type="application/javascript" async></script>
```

This is the part that hides our configurator till its finished initializing

```html
<style>
mmq-embed {
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
}

.show {
  opacity: 1;
  visibility: visible;
}
</style>

<script>
document.addEventListener('mimeeq-3d-product-initialized', () => {
  console.log('Mimeeq product list initialized');
  const embed = document.querySelector('mmq-embed');
  embed.classList.add('show');
  const loader = document.querySelector('#loader');
  loader.remove();
});

// Add this event to the one above, when using product list
document.addEventListener('mimeeq-product-list-initialized', () => {
  const embed = document.querySelector('mmq-embed');
  embed.classList.add('show');
  const loader = document.querySelector('#loader');
  loader.remove();
});
</script>
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Now just add you own loader to show while our configurator is initialising and thats it, you aded your own custom loader
{% endhint %}

For reference here is the full code used for this example

```html
<!-- This is the Embed Script for the product -->

<mmq-embed short-code="U1X94N" template="Default-MDEMO" locale="en"></mmq-embed>

<script src="https://cdn.mimeeq.com/read_models/embed/app-embed.js" rel="script" type="application/javascript" async></script>

<!-- End Embed Script -->

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/developer-guides/custom-loader.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
