A way to calculate the hypermodel query without actually changing the view

[catmando]

Say you are displaying a list of books.

Then the user clicks on a book

We would like this behavior:

The specific book changes to a spinner or loading message, but rest of books are visible.

Then when the books data arrives the page switches to the book view.

This can't be done (well not very easily or maybe not at all) with current while_loading approach.

Would a HyperComponent be able to return a promise that would be resolved once all DummyValues disappear?

There is a global reactive state that has this information. So you could use that. I think you can build what you want, but its too hard at the moment.

its also much easier to describe these scenarios with a router, but we should be able to think about it even without the router.

Maybe we need when_loaded as well as while_loaded.
