Minimum duration

[FilipeOS]

Hi there,

How can we add a minimum duration?
For example the spinner will always take 2 seconds at least?

Not sure why you would want to do this.

If you are expecting a 2 second delay (which is probably an unpleasant experience for the user), and the delay is beyond your control, then it seems the user just has to deal with it, if/when it comes-up. You might want to consider how you can reduce the delay.

Can you provide a use case where you need to show a minimum delay?

For example you are saving user settings and you want that user knows it's saving. Showing a loading for at least 1 or 2 seconds it's a must. Or user don't know it was saved sometimes

One simple way to add an artificial delay is to perhaps precede the actual delay with another call to wait for a future of a set duration to return before continuing. As in:

modal_progress_hud/example/lib/main.dart

Line 90 in 8ab3fa8

Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1), () {
