155 PointsThe sequence of loading components
Hi all,
I have a question regarding what we see in the app. So, we have a component that is called AppComonent, and we already have some HTML code inside the app-root tag.
Now my question is how come "Loading does appear before the component's code? I was expecting the HTML component to appear directly. Is it being loaded from the tag of app-root? That is why the message inside that tag appears first? or how does it work?
Thank you!
Best Regards, Chada

Browsers really don't care if it's a known tag for them or not. So they render the only content that is on the page which is Loading text. After a moment Angular app takes over and replaces the content of this tag. That's why Loading disappears and the app is visible.
