Spinners
About
Bootstrap “spinners” can be used to show the loading state in your projects. They’re built only with HTML and CSS, meaning you don’t need any JavaScript to create them. You will, however, need some custom JavaScript to toggle their visibility. Their appearance, alignment, and sizing can be easily customized with our amazing utility classes.
For accessibility purposes, each loader here includes role="status"
and a nested <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
.
Border spinner
Use the border spinners for a lightweight loading indicator.
Growing spinner
If you don’t fancy a border spinner, switch to the grow spinner. While it doesn’t technically spin, it does repeatedly grow!
Alignment
Spinners in Bootstrap are built with rem
s, currentColor
, and display: inline-flex
. This means they can easily be resized, recolored, and quickly aligned.
Flex
Size
Add .spinner-border-sm
and .spinner-grow-sm
to make a smaller spinner that can quickly be used within other components.
Colors
Use spinners within buttons to indicate an action is currently processing or taking place. You may also swap the text out of the spinner element and utilize button text as needed.
