#(cs)spinner

###Pure CSS loading animations with minimal effort!

Demo

Usage

Include the stylesheet(tweaking where necessary).
Add and remove appropriate classes to your elements when necessary to show loading(using js).

That's it!

	<div class="csspinner duo">
		This content is taking ages to load.
	</div>

####options From using the demo you can work out which classes you need to add to your elements in order to show the loading animation you want.

By default, you will always need csspinner.

Then there are;

traditional
duo
double-up
sphere
sphere-vertical
bar
bar-follow
line
line grow
line back-and-fourth
shadow
shadow oval/shadow oval left
shadow oval right

There is also no-overlay which will hide the overlay which is added by default.

Tweaking/Developing

I am fully aware that my styling of these animations aren't to everyones tastes and also that sometimes positioning won't be suitable etc. therefore it is likely you'll have to tweak the stylesheet to get the colors you want etc.

I've provided both LESS and SASS/SCSS versions of the file and have provided variables that can be easily changed where I think makes sense in this first run of creating (cs)spinner. Of course, feel free to submit an issue or send me a message if you feel something could be much better.

How does this work?

Not surprisingly it's real simple! :)

(cs)spinner makes use of CSS pseudo elements. It uses :before to provide an overlay effect if required and :after to show the animated spinner/bar etc.

making use of pseudo elements means that we can add (cs)spinner loading animations to any existing element on our page without being intrusive just by adding some classes as long as the elements pseudo elements aren't currently in use.
