Support CoreUI Development

CoreUI is an MIT-licensed open source project and is completely free to use. However, the amount of effort needed to maintain and develop new features for the project is not sustainable without proper financial backing.

You can support our Open Source software development in the following ways:

  • Buy the CoreUI PRO, and get access to PRO components, and dedicated support.
  • Hire Us! We create stunning designs, high-conversion landing pages, functional mobile apps and reliable web services – everything you need to offer your products or services online and always stay a tap away from your customers.
  • Give us a star ⭐️ on Github.

Vue Spinner Component

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

Other frameworks

CoreUI components are available as native Angular, Bootstrap (Vanilla JS), and React components. To learn more please visit the following pages.

  • Angular Spinner
  • Bootstrap Spinner
  • React Spinner

About #

CoreUI "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/>
1

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"/>
  Loading...
</CButton>

Customizing #

CSS variables #

Vue spinners use local CSS variables on .spinner-border and .spinner-grow for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

Border spinner variables:

--cui-spinner-width: #{$spinner-width};
--cui-spinner-height: #{$spinner-height};
--cui-spinner-vertical-align: #{$spinner-vertical-align};
--cui-spinner-border-width: #{$spinner-border-width};
--cui-spinner-animation-speed: #{$spinner-animation-speed};
--cui-spinner-animation-name: spinner-border;

Growing spinner variables:

--cui-spinner-width: #{$spinner-width};
--cui-spinner-height: #{$spinner-height};
--cui-spinner-vertical-align: #{$spinner-vertical-align};
--cui-spinner-animation-speed: #{$spinner-animation-speed};
--cui-spinner-animation-name: spinner-grow;

For both spinners, small spinner modifier classes are used to update the values of these CSS variables as needed. For example, the .spinner-border-sm class does the following:

--cui-spinner-width: #{$spinner-width-sm};
--cui-spinner-height: #{$spinner-height-sm};
--cui-spinner-border-width: #{$spinner-border-width-sm};
