Examples

Importing a loading indicator

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

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

export default Loading;

Example usage

<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 fairly small. However, you might be turbo-charged to make bundle size of your project as small as possible.
You can directly include a loading indicator you want to ensure it is the only thing included from the library:

import React from "react";
import OrbitProgress from "react-loading-indicators/dist/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 any 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 styles to the loading 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.

Some components accept a variant prop, Specifically <OrbitProgress /> and <ThreeDot />. This lets you choose a variation of a loading indicator that you want.

Name	DataType
variant	string

<OrbitProgress /> has the following variants: dotted, bubble-dotted, disc, split-disc, track-disc. Defaults to disc.
<ThreeDot /> has the following variants: pulsate, windmill, bob, brick-stack. Defaults to pulsate.
See DEMO to visualize.

How to resize

You can resize a spinner to fit into your needs with the size prop that accepts predefined string input.
If this is not enough, you can give a loading indicator a fontSize property via the style prop. The style prop is an object that allows you to add your own css. Including fontSize in the style object will evenly alter the animation's size, e.g

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