My page content is wrapped in a parent Loading component that gets triggered every time a change is made to the page. I only want this Loading component to be triggered on the initial page load only. How do I go about doing that?

Another approach would be to create a dummy div somewhere on the page, with no contents, and set up your callback to to have an input from the children of that dummy div. Since the div will never have any children, the call back will only get triggered on page load and never again. Hope that helps…

Is there a way to trigger load on initial page load only and not every time a change is made to the page?
