This is a great tutorial and is helping me replace 2 third-party libraries that I was using for loading indicators.
I'm having a bit of a problem getting the loading indicator to display on a parent component when the service is initiated from a child component though. The functionality works...no errors...I just can't see the loading indicator.

I injected the parent component into the child constructor using:
@Optional() protected parentComponent: CompanySettingsComponent,
then I'm calling the service using:
this.loadingService.doLoading( this.companyService.getCompanySettings(), this.parentComponent ?? this ).pipe( untilDestroyed(this) ) .subscribe(response => { ... }); }

Normal setup on a single component works perfectly, so I know it's configured properly.

The only thing I can think of that the child component is one of the tabs in an ng-bootstrap tab set and perhaps that is preventing the spinner from appearing because the directive is attempting to add the loading-overlay class to the tab output div instead of around the parent component.

If you have any suggestions for using this with ng-bootstrap tab set, it would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll just display the spinner directly in the child component. I was trying to put it in the parent component because the tab set is a vertical tab list on the left with the content on the right and the spinner is off-center if it displays in the child component.

Thanks.
