loading.io provides a web interface to quickly choose and copy your desired spinners, yet you can still find the source code in this repository. The simplest usage is as:
- Find and download the html file of desired loader under build/ folder.
- Copy its content to the place you want to use this loader.
- Done.
Separated CSS and HTML files are also available under build folder so that you can reuse the css to reduce payload size.
We also provide stylus and pug source files for better integrating these spinners into your project. Find corresponding stylus and pug files for your desired spinners under src/ folders.
Additionally, you will need vars.styl and basic.styl if you are going to build by yourself. See following section for more detail.
To customize speed and color of a loader, first ensure you have stylus install locally ( you will need npm too ):
npm install -g stylus
then, edit vars.styl with your desired configuration. for now you can edit the following style of a spinner:
- size
- color
- speed
once you've done with the editing, run stylus to build yourself a css file:
stylus -o . --import vars.styl --import basic.styl src/<desired-loader>/main.styl
use the generated main.css together with build//main.html to add this loader in your project.
These spinners use CSS Animation and Transformation which is widely supported by major modern browsers except IE<=9. To support older browsers like IE9, please use loading.io to generate alternative GIF Loaders instead.
