Examples

Importing a loading indicator

*/

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

export default Loading;

Example usage

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

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" }} />;
