// showSpinner() will make the spinner visible
showSpinner(document.getElementById('container'));

// hideSpinner() method used hide spinner
hideSpinner(document.getElementById('container'));
<ejs-button id="import" content="Load Document" onclick="onClick()"></ejs-button>
<ejs-documenteditorcontainer id="container" serviceUrl="/api/DocumentEditor/" enableToolbar=true created="onCreated" height="590px"></ejs-documenteditorcontainer>

<script>
    var documenteditor;
    var container;
    function onCreated() {
        var documenteditorElement = document.getElementById("container");
        container = documenteditorElement.ej2_instances[0];
        documenteditor = container.documentEditor;

        ej.popups.createSpinner({
            // Specify the target for the spinner to show
            target: document.getElementById('container')
        });
    }
    function onClick() {
        // load your default document here
        let data = '{"sections":[{"sectionFormat":{"pageWidth":612,"pageHeight":792,"leftMargin":72,"rightMargin":72,"topMargin":72,"bottomMargin":72,"differentFirstPage":false,"differentOddAndEvenPages":false,"headerDistance":36,"footerDistance":36,"bidi":false},"blocks":[{"paragraphFormat":{"afterSpacing":30,"styleName":"Heading 1","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{},"inlines":[{"characterFormat":{},"text":"Adventure Works Cycles"}]}],"headersFooters":{"header":{"blocks":[{"paragraphFormat":{"listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{},"inlines":[]}]},"footer":{"blocks":[{"paragraphFormat":{"listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{},"inlines":[]}]}}}],"characterFormat":{"bold":false,"italic":false,"fontSize":11,"fontFamily":"Calibri","underline":"None","strikethrough":"None","baselineAlignment":"Normal","highlightColor":"NoColor","fontColor":"empty","fontSizeBidi":11,"fontFamilyBidi":"Calibri","allCaps":false},"paragraphFormat":{"leftIndent":0,"rightIndent":0,"firstLineIndent":0,"textAlignment":"Left","beforeSpacing":0,"afterSpacing":0,"lineSpacing":1.0791666507720947,"lineSpacingType":"Multiple","listFormat":{},"bidi":false},"defaultTabWidth":36,"trackChanges":false,"enforcement":false,"hashValue":"","saltValue":"","formatting":false,"protectionType":"NoProtection","dontUseHTMLParagraphAutoSpacing":false,"formFieldShading":true,"styles":[{"name":"Normal","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"lineSpacing":1.149999976158142,"lineSpacingType":"Multiple","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"fontFamily":"Calibri"},"next":"Normal"},{"name":"Default Paragraph Font","type":"Character","characterFormat":{}},{"name":"Heading 1 Char","type":"Character","characterFormat":{"fontSize":16,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Default Paragraph Font"},{"name":"Heading 1","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"beforeSpacing":12,"afterSpacing":0,"outlineLevel":"Level1","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"fontSize":16,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Normal","link":"Heading 1 Char","next":"Normal"},{"name":"Heading 2 Char","type":"Character","characterFormat":{"fontSize":13,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Default Paragraph Font"},{"name":"Heading 2","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"beforeSpacing":2,"afterSpacing":6,"outlineLevel":"Level2","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"fontSize":13,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Normal","link":"Heading 2 Char","next":"Normal"},{"name":"Heading 3","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"leftIndent":0,"rightIndent":0,"firstLineIndent":0,"textAlignment":"Left","beforeSpacing":2,"afterSpacing":0,"lineSpacing":1.0791666507720947,"lineSpacingType":"Multiple","outlineLevel":"Level3","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"fontSize":12,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#1F3763"},"basedOn":"Normal","link":"Heading 3 Char","next":"Normal"},{"name":"Heading 3 Char","type":"Character","characterFormat":{"fontSize":12,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#1F3763"},"basedOn":"Default Paragraph Font"},{"name":"Heading 4","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"leftIndent":0,"rightIndent":0,"firstLineIndent":0,"textAlignment":"Left","beforeSpacing":2,"afterSpacing":0,"lineSpacing":1.0791666507720947,"lineSpacingType":"Multiple","outlineLevel":"Level4","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"italic":true,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Normal","link":"Heading 4 Char","next":"Normal"},{"name":"Heading 4 Char","type":"Character","characterFormat":{"italic":true,"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Default Paragraph Font"},{"name":"Heading 5","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"leftIndent":0,"rightIndent":0,"firstLineIndent":0,"textAlignment":"Left","beforeSpacing":2,"afterSpacing":0,"lineSpacing":1.0791666507720947,"lineSpacingType":"Multiple","outlineLevel":"Level5","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Normal","link":"Heading 5 Char","next":"Normal"},{"name":"Heading 5 Char","type":"Character","characterFormat":{"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#2F5496"},"basedOn":"Default Paragraph Font"},{"name":"Heading 6","type":"Paragraph","paragraphFormat":{"leftIndent":0,"rightIndent":0,"firstLineIndent":0,"textAlignment":"Left","beforeSpacing":2,"afterSpacing":0,"lineSpacing":1.0791666507720947,"lineSpacingType":"Multiple","outlineLevel":"Level6","listFormat":{}},"characterFormat":{"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#1F3763"},"basedOn":"Normal","link":"Heading 6 Char","next":"Normal"},{"name":"Heading 6 Char","type":"Character","characterFormat":{"fontFamily":"Calibri Light","fontColor":"#1F3763"},"basedOn":"Default Paragraph Font"}],"lists":[],"abstractLists":[],"comments":[],"revisions":[],"customXml":[]}';

        // showSpinner() will make the spinner visible
        ej.popups.showSpinner(document.getElementById('container'));
        // Open the default document
        container.documentEditor.open(data);
        setInterval(function () {

            // hideSpinner() method used hide spinner
            ej.popups.hideSpinner(document.getElementById('container'));

        }, 5000);
    }
</script>

NOTE

In above example, we have used setInterval to hide spinner, just for demo purpose.
