Spinner

stimeo--spinner

Shows and hides a loading indicator, and says out loud when loading starts and ends.

  • Core

Shows and hides a loading indicator, and reports that the region is busy to screen readers. The spinning shape is for the eyes, so starting and finishing are also said in words through the shared announcer, since text revealed at the moment of the change is not reliably read. Two touches keep it from flickering: a job that finishes quickly never shows one at all, and once shown it stays long enough to be seen. That is why it lingers briefly after you stop, which is correct rather than stuck. The spinning shape itself is drawn by this demo's CSS.

running

Start loading enters the loading state and Stop loading ends it. To avoid flicker the spinner appears after a short delay and, once shown, stays for a moment. Lingering briefly after you stop is intentional.

Content appears here once loading finishes.
