Viewer - Custom "Loading" Component

[joseph-bayer]

I'd like to display a custom component instead of the "Loading" text that displays while the manifest is fetched & loaded into React.Context (code here)

1. Is this something you'd be interested in me implementing?
2. If so, what solution would be acceptable? For example, we could pass in a react component into the config and display that instead of "Loading" (but only when that config value is populated)

EDIT: Support for a custom loading component is now available! Based on the conversation in this pull request, I'll be updating the default loading text to be a skeleton instead.

Hey @joseph-bayer this would be a great addition. That Loading text has always bothered me a bit. Updating this default component and setting up a way to pass in a custom React component through the configuration options seems like a great step forward.

We're open to PRs and if our configuration models make sense and you have thoughts on how this could work, please contribute forward!

@joseph-bayer I'll leave it up to whether to amend this issue or create a new one for the update of the default loader using a skeleton.

Hey @mathewjordan - we can amend this issue for the loading skeleton.

Sorry for the delay! I'm still working on it, but have been super busy.
