A loading spinner is an element with a looping animation to indicate that a particular app or module is in the process of loading and where it will appear. Loading Spinners are generally displayed when the loading is slow so that the users are informed that processes are running and may take some time.
Uiball.com is a Free Website from where you can get CSS Loading Spinner Animations for your projects. These animations have been made with CSS, HTML and a bit of lightweight SVG. The Spinners are developed for React which is an open-source JavaScript library for designing front-end user interfaces.
Features:
- There are ample types of spinners that are available, 24 to be exact. They are very appealing yet simple enough to be used easily in your projects.
- Customizable: You can customize the size, color, line weight and animation of these Spinners to match the design of your App.
- Tiny Size: The individual Spinners are very small in size. Most of them are less than 1 Kb (GZipped).
- Tree-shakeable: The package is designed to utilize the advantages of tree shaking which means that applications can successfully remove the unused parts of the library to make it smaller and faster.
