Vue: Reuse loading spinner template and logic - vue.js

Question

I've multiple (20+) pages where I need the following code:
<template>
<template v-if="isLoading">
<Spinner full size="medium" />
</template>
<template v-else>
<p>Page data</p>
</template>
</template>
<script>
export default {
computed: {
isLoading() {
return this.$store.getters['loader/isLoading'];
},
},
};
</script>
I don't want to rewrite this part everytime I need it so is there a way to create something like a higher order component with access to the computed method and a way to add the hoc to the script tag of the different vue files? Or another way to archive this?

I could recommend extending the spinner component where you want to show the spinner. I've created a boilerplate setup that show a very simple implementation of this approach here.
The main idea is to expose a default slot for you spinner component, and wrap the page component in that slot.
<template>
<div>
<Spinner v-if="isLoading" full size="medium" />
<!-- Slot for component data -->
<slot v-else></slot>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
computed: {
isLoading() {
return this.$store.getters['loader/isLoading'];
},
},
};
</script>
Then in any component that you want to show the spinner:
<template>
<spinner>
<!-- Pass here the component content to be shown after the spinner is hidden -->
</spinner>
</template>
<script>
import Spinner from "./spinner";
export default {
name: "Page1",
extends: Spinner,
components: { Spinner }
};
</script>
