# `<NuxtLoadingIndicator>`

The `<NuxtLoadingIndicator>` component displays a progress bar on page navigation.

## Examples

### Basic Usage

Add `<NuxtLoadingIndicator/>` in your `app.vue` or layouts.

```vue [app.vue]
<template>
  <NuxtLayout>
    <NuxtLoadingIndicator /> <!-- here -->
    <NuxtPage />
  </NuxtLayout>
</template>
```

:button-link[Open on StackBlitz]{href="https://stackblitz.com/github/nuxt/nuxt/tree/main/examples/routing/pages?terminal=dev&file=/app.vue" blank}

::alert{type=warning}
If you are changing layouts as well as page, the page transition you set here will not run. Instead, you should set a layout transition.
