A collection of loading indicators animated with CSS

Overview

SpinKit

Simple loading spinners animated with CSS. See demo. SpinKit only uses (transform and opacity) CSS animations to create smooth and easily customizable animations.

Usage

  • Add spinkit.css or spinkit.min.css to your project (or copy-paste the CSS that you need for your spinner—there are no dependencies between spinners, no shared classes, and no shared animations, etc, so it should be fairly straight-forward to extract only the code that you need)
  • Add a spinner to your project by copy-pasting HTML from spinkit.css or examples.html
  • Add the sk-center utility class to the spinner to center it (it sets margin to auto)
  • By default, the width and height of all spinners are set to 40px. background-color is set to #333.
  • Configure the spinner by overwriting the CSS variables, primarily --sk-size (spinner width & height) and --sk-color (spinner color). If you need broader browser support, remove the CSS variables.

You can include SpinKit to your project with bower:

$ bower install spinkit

or npm:

$ npm install spinkit

Spinners

Given that you have included spinkit.min.css in your project, these snippets will produce the different spinners:

Web browser compatibility

SpinKit uses CSS animations and variables:

Implementing a fallback spinner

How do you know if you need to provide a fallback? You can check for animation support with Modernizr, or manually check for the animation property, and replace the spinner with a GIF if it's not supported:

function browserSupportsCSSProperty(propertyName) {
  var elm = document.createElement('div');
  propertyName = propertyName.toLowerCase();

  if (elm.style[propertyName] != undefined)
    return true;

  var propertyNameCapital = propertyName.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + propertyName.substr(1),
    domPrefixes = 'Webkit Moz ms O'.split(' ');

  for (var i = 0; i < domPrefixes.length; i++) {
    if (elm.style[domPrefixes[i] + propertyNameCapital] != undefined)
      return true;
  }

  return false;
}

Use it to check for animation support:

if (!browserSupportsCSSProperty('animation')) {
  // fallback…
}

  • starting point for scss or sass

    starting point for scss or sass

    First of all this spinner kit is awesome and I want to thank you very much.

    This is a subset of spinners that I have combined into a single scss file which has been tested and is in full use at my company. This is intended as a starting file to work towards so that the css can be compiled down to a dist/spin-kit.css as the end goal.

    Therefore, this is not meant to be a finished peace but is intended as a starting point as a discussion on how you want to proceed. I am fully open to adding a build framework to compile this scss down for you so it can be in separate encapsulated files like wave.scss, and three-bounce.scss. Personally I would favor npm/Grunt or Rails but it is up to you.

    I'd love to help contribute.

  • Conflict with Animate.css plugin

    Conflict with Animate.css plugin

    Hi, I just stumbled upon a conflict using Animate CSS “plugin" (https://daneden.github.io/animate.css/), looks like they have keyframes called as well "bounce". Maybe it would be better if spinKit keyframes have a specfic prefix like "spinKitBounce", it would avoid such conflicts as "bounce" is pretty common for CSS animation name... Thank you anyway for this great work :+1:

    Create a WordPress Like Pure CSS loader or Spinner

    Hello,

    I am a big fan of WordPress and I like their new loader they use, but only if it wasn't in GIF format. So, I've created this loader/spinner to mimic the WordPress loader.

    I'd like to add this to your wonderful SpinKit.

    Thanks.

  • Demo different than the examples.

    Demo different than the examples.

    Why are the spinners on the demo site vastly different than the examples. In particular the circle spinner on the demo has fewer dots in the spinner and the source is very different than the code in the examples/8-circle.html. And the css for the circle spinner on the demo page is not spinkit.css file. Can the example files be updated to include the exact spinners on the demo page?

    Thanks.

  • New animation:

    New animation: "Unfolding"

    I love your style so I'm thinking of a little commission.

    The three bounce is perfect for route transitions, but there are moments in certain views where a component is only fully constructed on demand. Suppose it takes a few seconds, up to six in my case, to build the component; I would like to overlay a spinner that conveys the work of "unboxing" (which the user prefers over "construction" in data entry apps).

    The animation would begin with a plain square that unfolds from the centre into a diamond, which then unfolds from the centre into a square. If possible the shape would continuously shrink, and the shape would always be the same size, but if that's too difficult then the larger diamond could scale down before unfolding, and the larger square could scale down before the animation repeated. A simpler version of all this is to simply rotate the diamond back to the square and repeat, but I think the full version is more compelling.

    This (or something like it) would make a nice addition to the SpinKit collection :D

    Spinning square animation bug

    Just go the next slide (circle) and go back to previous one (square).

    You'll see that the square is not animating anymore. But if you inspect the item you'll see that the div is "rotating" but not repainting.

    A bug?

  • Old Browser-Support

    Old Browser-Support

    With v2 you use Custom Properties (CSS Variables) to set the size and the color. Using Custom Properties does not work with old browsers (e.g. IE11). Please support old Browser by defining a default value - something like this:

    /* Config */
    :root {
      --sk-size: 40px;
      --sk-color: #333;
    }
    
    /*  Plane */
    .sk-plane {
      width: 40px;
      height: 40px;
      background-color: #333;
      width: var(--sk-size);
      height: var(--sk-size);
      background-color: var(--sk-color);
      animation: sk-plane 1.2s infinite ease-in-out; 
    }
    

    The IE11 will ignore the lines where the the Custom Field is set and uses the predefined values. Using var(value, default-value); does not work.

    An easy way to prevent repetitions is using SCSS and the SCSS variables (see: #150):

    $sk-size: 40px !default;
    $sk-color: #333 !default;
    
    /* Config */
    :root {
      --sk-size: $sk-size;
      --sk-color: $sk-color;
    }
    
    /*  Plane */
    .sk-plane {
      width:$sk-size;
      height: $sk-size;
      background-color: $sk-color;
      width: var(--sk-size);
      height: var(--sk-size);
      background-color: var(--sk-color);
      animation: sk-plane 1.2s infinite ease-in-out; 
    }

  • Reintroduce SCSS and modular structure

    Reintroduce SCSS and modular structure

    With v2 you removed SCSS support. Now, only one big file with all spinner exists. But I only want to import the Pulse Spinner and the Three Bounce Spinner. This is currently not possible.

    Please reintroduce SCSS and the modular structure (with SCSS variables), so it is possible only to import the necessary spinner.

  • Add CSS minification script

    Add CSS minification script

    I implemented a minimalistic solution using PostCSS and cssnano to ease the minification of the spinkit.css file.

    The benefit of having this is that in case more people start contributing to the project, it can be made sure that CSS is:

    • minified
    • and minified properly, consistently.

    Minification can be ran using npm run build.
