Elements:Spinners

Border Spinners

Bootstrap "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.

<div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-secondary" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-success" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>

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!

View code example
<div class="spinner-grow text-primary" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-secondary" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-success" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-danger" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-warning" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-info" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-light" role="status">
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-grow text-dark" role="status">

Size

Add .spinner-border-sm and .spinner-grow-sm to make a smaller spinner that can quickly be used within other components.

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.

View code example
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>
  <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>
  <span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>
</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" disabled>
  <span class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm" role="status" aria-hidden="true"></span>
  Loading...
</button>
