CSS loader

   

> A few simple examples of loaders using only one div and CSS.

!loader-g

Try it online! :metal:

Why

It's usually common to show a loader to users when they must wait for something in a web application (an _ajax_ request or a form submit, etc). _Gif_ image loaders were great but by using CSS we can avoid the image request, also it's easier to customise and maintain and it's cooler.

Thanks for all this amazing people who already helped me with the project.

Setup

Add the CSS file to your project and add the link to the file:

`html

`

Select the loader and add the corresponding HTML. In order to show the loader, you need to add the helper CSS class is-active. And to hide the loader, just do the opposite, removing the CSS helper from the loader. You can do it with JavaScript.

`html







`

Examples

$3

`html



`

!loader

See it :metal: | CSS :sparkles:

#### Variations

data-text: add a _Loading_ text to the loader. Just add the data-text attribute.

`html



`

!loader-data-text

See it :metal:

It's also possible to change the text, just passing a value to the attribute data-text.

`html



`

!loader-data-text-custom

blink: passing the data-blink attribute, you can add a simple _fade_ animation to the text loader

`html



`

!loader-blink

See it :metal:

half: a _half_ loader.

!loader-half

See it :metal:

The variations _data-half_, _data-text_ and _data-blink_ works together. 😄

`

!loader-bar-updated

See it :metal:

#### Variations

Like the loader example, it's also possible to pass the data-text and blink attributes.

`html


`

See it :metal:

rounded: passing the data-rounded attribute, it's possible to add a simple border-radius to the loader.

!loader-bar-rounded-updated

`html



`

See it :metal:

inverse: passing the data-inverse attribute, it's possible change the direction of the animation (from left to right).

!loader-bar

`html



`

See it :metal:

Obs. It's also possible pass a parameter data-text with a content value that will show as a text loader, or with no value, and the default loading text it's going to show instead.

$3

!loader-bar-ping-pong

`html



`

See it :metal: | CSS :sparkles:

#### Variations

rounded: passing the data-rounded attribute, it's possible to add a border-radius to the bar and the _ticker_ transforms into a circle.

!loader-bar-ping-pong-rounded

`html



`

See it :metal:

$3

!loader-border

`html

`html



`

!loader-smartphone-empty

See it :metal: | CSS :sparkles:

#### Variations

w/ screen text: it's possible to pass an attribute to the loader and show a simple text inside the screen. Like the other one, if we only pass the attribute, a default _loading_ text is shown; but you can pass a custom text. Just remember that it can't be a big word (our smartphone screen is small).

w/ custom text: it's also possible customize the text loader. It's just pass the data attribute data-curtain-text with the value desired.

This loader differs from the other because we have to pass an attribute to it, according to song's chorus that we want to load.
