Ability automatically call shopify.loading function on the client

[Rafi993]

Feature request

• Lets say you are triggering an action and the merchant has to wait for sometime till the action is complete. You will show a inline loader or shopify.loading
• But since the database operation happens on the server where app bridge is not initialized you will end up writing a bunch of boiler plate code to set and reset (incase of failure or success) of shopify.loading function
• It would be awesome if the Remix template had a way to do this by default without any extra boiler plate. It probably should be opt-in for specific pages / action or at least opt-out if you don't want to exclude some action from this loader

Hi, thank you for raising this! I've forwarded the feedback to the team, and we'll look into what can be done.

I've consulted with the team, and we can look into adding a helper function to either App Bridge or the package, but we probably wouldn't build the functionality in as we can't guarantee all apps would want it and a function would make it easier to customize the behaviour, so it might not look too different from what you have.

Just to set expectations, this is a new feature so it might take us a while to get to it.

We appreciate the suggestion to improve our offerings, though! :)
