Delay Page Switch

[luglio7]

Hi
I would like to know if exist an option to delay (maybe with a js Promise) the page switch.

For example i would like to :

• click on a link
• start an animation (the content fade out for example), here i would like to intercept the process.
• the ajax load take place
• the ajax end
• the new content fade in (this should not be a problem)

There's no reason why fade out previous content and the ajax request couldn't run in parallel. After all, you don't want animations to slow down ajax loading, do you?

However, it sounds like you do want to hold off replacing old content with the new one (from pjax) until the old content has faded out, so you can fade in the new content. That seems impossible right now with pjax since there is no mechanism by which you can delay replacing content after the pjax request has finished.

However, if pjax:beforeReplace event was cancellable, like #428 tries to do, then you could cancel the event to abort replacing the content, do what you still need to do, and replace and fade in the new content yourself. So you can follow that PR for updates on this topic.
