Set isLoading to true when operation is triggered, not when stream starts?

Sometimes, it can take a few seconds until an API starts to stream the response. Sure, we could work around this by keeping track of isLoading ourselves instead of relying on what the SDK provides. But I think that kind of goes against the purpose of the SDK of having a solution that's as complete as reasonably possible?

And so I would propose to set this to true as soon as something like e.g. reload() gets triggered.

If after a few seconds an error occurs instead of the stream starting, I think the user should still see some indication in the UI that their input was triggered successfully in the meantime.

Hey! What version of the AI SDK are you using? With the latest 4.0, streamText is no longer blocking (no more await). As a result, the initial response should come back almost immediately.

Thank you very much for the fast response!
Made me realize that it was a problem with my code and it already worked with 3.4.33 (delay until isLoading is true is <20 ms locally). Should have investigated more thoroughly before posting, sorry about that.

no problem! happy you got it resolved 😊
