<div
style="width: 250px; height: 150px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-around;"
>
<sp-circleloader progress="71" size="small"></sp-circleloader>
<sp-circleloader progress="22"></sp-circleloader>
<sp-circleloader progress="86" size="large"></sp-circleloader>
</div>
Over background
When a loader needs to be placed on top of a colored background, use the over background loader as signified by [over-background]
. This loader uses a white opaque color no matter the background. Make sure the background offers enough contrast for the loader to be legible.
<div
style="width: 250px; height: 150px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-around; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);"
>
<sp-circleloader
progress="42"
over-background
size="small"
></sp-circleloader>
<sp-circleloader progress="7" over-background></sp-circleloader>
<sp-circleloader
progress="68"
over-background
size="large"
></sp-circleloader>
</div>
Indeterminate
A circle loader can be either determinate or indeterminate as signified by [indeterminate]
. By default, loaders are determinate. Use a determinate loader when progress can be calculated against a specific goal (e.g., downloading a file of a known size). Use an indeterminate loader when progress is happening but the time or effort to completion can’t be determined (e.g., attempting to reconnect to a server).
<div
style="width: 250px; height: 150px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-around;"
>
<sp-circleloader indeterminate size="small"></sp-circleloader>
<sp-circleloader indeterminate></sp-circleloader>
<sp-circleloader indeterminate size="large"></sp-circleloader>
</div>
Size
Circle loaders come in 3 sizes: small ([size="small"]
), medium (default), or large ([size="large"]
). These are available to fit various contexts. For example, the small loader can be used in place of an icon or in tight spaces, while the large one can be used for full-page loading.
