Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://neobrutalism.com/r/spinner.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"function Example() {  return <Spinner />}
  • Show that a button action is processing.
  • Indicate that a section or page is waiting for content to load.
  • Provide a compact loading indicator beside a short status message.

Examples

Loading button

Place the spinner beside a button label while an action is processing.

loading-button.tsx
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"function SaveButton() {  return (    <button type="button" disabled>      <Spinner className="mr-2 inline-block" />      Saving...    </button>  )}

Loading section

Center a larger spinner while a section fetches its content.

loading-section.tsx
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"function LoadingSection() {  return (    <div className="flex justify-center p-8">      <Spinner className="size-8" />    </div>  )}

Loading status message

Pair the indicator with visible text describing the loading state.

loading-status-message.tsx
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"function LoadingMessage() {  return (    <p className="flex items-center gap-2">      <Spinner />      Loading results...    </p>  )}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
classNamestring—Optional CSS class name combined with the default `size-4 animate-spin` classes.
...propsReact.ComponentProps<"svg">—Any other standard SVG props, such as `width`, `height`, `strokeWidth`, `role`, or `aria-label`. These are spread onto the underlying Lucide SVG after the component's defaults, so matching props can override them.

Accessibility

  • The SVG has `role="status"` and `aria-label="Loading"` by default, allowing assistive technology to identify it as a loading status.
  • Standard SVG props are forwarded, so `aria-label` and `role` can be customized when a different status description is needed.
  • When the loading state needs context, include visible status text alongside the spinner; the icon alone does not communicate what is loading.
