Ask for suggestions about background tasks

[realtebo]

Hi !

I’ve the need to handle some time (and resource) consuming background task in our app.

I’ve the need to allow user to navigate from page to page, but having a little indicator on the top [in the main layout file] that show progression of what is happening behind scenes.

The problem is not here.

The problem is HOW to keep a long task running in background in a quasar app.

I could use a boot file to start the task, but I need to avoid UI blocks.

If any, could you sdhare with me any suggestions?
