Better control over what requests show Pace about pace HOT 5 CLOSED

Some options I'm considering:

• A setting to make it appear for ALL ajax requests
• The ability to specify with a specific request that it should show the bar (at the jQuery or XMLHttpRequest level?)
• The ability to explicitly integrate with specific Backbone Models?

Even the ability to manually control when it shows and hides would be great. You could simply do a Pace.start() before an XHR, and Pace.stop() when it completes.

Another nice to have would be the ability to show more than one template: one when you have progress to show, one when you don't. Or just specify the template name in start().

here's an easy workaround for this:

dontPace = (fn) ->
  _trackMethods = Pace.options.ajax.trackMethods
  Pace.options.ajax.trackMethods = []
  res = fn()
  Pace.options.ajax.trackMethods = _trackMethods
  res


# and then whenever you have some code that will cause an ajax request that you don't want to track in pace you can do:

$.ajax('someurl') # will be tracked in Pace
dontPace -> $.ajax('some/url') # WONT be tracked in Pace
$.ajax('another/url') # will be tracked in Pace

#or for example in angular:
dontPace ->
  $http.get('some/url')

That's very clever. The other option would be for pace to wrap $.ajax, and make it an option to that.

As @toddwprice mentioned, this would be great:

Something like Pace.restart('templateA.css')
