+
+The onLoading parameter is called when the tree data is loading. This gives us the opportunity to display a loading signal.
+
+Callback looks like this:
+
+```js
+function (is_loading, node, $el)
+```
+
+* **is_loading**: boolean
+ * true: data is loading
+ * false: data is loaded
+* **node**:
+ * Node: if a node is loading
+ * null: if the tree is loading
+* **$el**:
+ * if a node is loading this is the `li` element
+ * if the tree is loading is the `ul` element of the whole tree
