Examples

Importing a loading indicator

import { Atom } from "react-loading-indicators";
/* 
| OR directly pull it 😎
| import Atom from "react-loading-indicators/Atom";
*/

const Loading = () => <Atom text="Loading..." />;

export default Loading;

<Suspense fallback={<Loading />}>
	<Albums artistId={artist.id} />
</Suspense>

Side note: You can use suspense for data fetching other than lazy loading.

Lighter build

This library is kept at fairly small. You have an option to even shrink further what you include from this library. You can directly pull a loading indicator you want:

import React from "react";
import OrbitProgress from "react-loading-indicators/OrbitProgress";

const Loading = () => (
	<OrbitProgress variant="track-disc" color="crimson" size="small" />
);

export default Loading;

Props

Each of these components will accept the following optional props.

| Name | DataType | Default Value | Possible Values | | :-------: | :-------------------: | :-------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | size | string | medium | small, medium, large | | color | string or array | limegreen | CSS color values | | style | object | null | CSS styles(in Reactjs format) | | text | string or boolean | false | Boolean value or string | | textColor | string | undefined | CSS color values | | speedPlus | number | 0 | Number in the range -5 through 5 | | easing | string | default ease function | CSS easing function |

What do these props do?

• size - Sets the size of the loading indicator.
• color - Sets the color of the loading indicator.
• style - Applies CSS to the loading indicator. This will style the outer element that wraps an indicator.
• text - Displays message in the loading indicator.
• textColor - Sets the color of text message in the loading indicator.
• speedPlus - Controls speed of animation. Negative values slows down. Positive numbers speeds up animation. 0 is normal speed.
• easing - Controls the smoothness of the animation, altered with values such as linear, ease-in.

<OrbitProgress /> and <ThreeDot /> have more than one variant of loading animation. You can pick an alternative animation using a variant prop.

| Name | DataType | | :-----: | :------: | | variant | string |

<OrbitProgress /> supports the following variants: dotted, spokes, disc, split-disc, track-disc. Defaults to disc. <ThreeDot /> has the following variants: pulsate, bounce, bob, brick-stack. Defaults to pulsate. You can have an interactive run-through of the variants in the DEMO site.

How to resize

You can resize a loading indicator to fit into your needs with the size prop that accepts predefined string values. For more size customization, you can specify a fontSize property in the style prop. A valid value for the fontSize property will evenly alter the animation's size, for example:

const Loading = () => <ThreeDot style={{ fontSize: "8px" }} />;
