<button (click)="showSpinner()">Show Spinner</button>
<button (click)="hideSpinner()">Hide Spinner</button>
```
Control spinner instance using [input parameters](#input-parameters).
component.ts
``` typescript
import { SPINNER_ANIMATIONS, SPINNER_PLACEMENT, ISpinnerConfig } from '@hardikdabhi/ngx-spinner';

@Component({
  // ...
})
export class DemoComponent implements OnInit {
  showSpinner: boolean;
  spinnerConfig: ISpinnerConfig;

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
	this.spBlockUiConfig = {
		placement: SPINNER_PLACEMENT.block_ui,
