# Spinner A loading indicator that displays a rotating animation to communicate that content is loading or a background process is in progress. ## Import ```tsx import { Spinner } from '@coinbase/cds-web/loaders/Spinner' ``` ## Examples ### Basics The `size` prop is required and controls the spinner dimensions. The value is in pixels and determines the font size from which the width (10em), height (10em), and border width (1.1em) are calculated. ```jsx live ``` ### Buttons Use `loading` on [Button](/components/inputs/Button) and [IconButton](/components/inputs/IconButton) to show a spinner during async operations. The button becomes non-interactive while preserving its dimensions. ```jsx live function LoadingButtons() { const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false); const handleClick = useCallback(() => { setIsLoading(true); setTimeout(() => setIsLoading(false), 2000); }, []); return ( ); } ``` ### Styling #### Color Use the `color` prop to customize the spinner's color. The default is `fgMuted`. Any valid CDS design token color can be used. ```jsx live ``` ##### On Colored Backgrounds When placing a spinner on a colored background, choose a color with sufficient contrast. ```jsx live ``` #### Sizing Use different sizes to match the context - smaller spinners work well inline or within buttons, while larger spinners are appropriate for page or section loading states. ```jsx live ``` ### Accessibility Use `accessibilityLabel` to provide context for screen readers. The spinner uses `role="status"` and `aria-live="polite"` to announce the loading state. ```jsx live ``` ## Props | Prop | Type | Required | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `size` | `number` | Yes | `-` | The font size of the spinner in pixels - used to calculate the width, height, and borderWidth. Width and height are 10em while borderWidth is 1.1em. | | `alignContent` | `ResponsiveProp
