Bootstrap Vue Spinner Component

Indicate the loading state of a component or page with Bootstrap Vue spinners, built entirely with HTML, CSS, and no JavaScript.

About

Bootstrap Vue "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="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>.

Border spinner

Use the border spinners for a lightweight loading indicator.

Basic usage

Loading...
<CSpinner/>

Colors

The border spinner uses currentColor for its border-color. You can use any of our text color utilities on the standard spinner.

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!

Loading...
<CSpinner variant="grow"/>

Once again, this spinner is built with currentColor, so you can easily change its appearance. Here it is in blue, along with the supported variants.

Buttons

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.

<CButton disabled>
  <CSpinner component="span" size="sm" aria-hidden="true"/>
</CButton>
<CButton disabled>
  <CSpinner component="span" size="sm" aria-hidden="true"/>
