Spinners
Indicate the loading state of a component or page with Bootstrap spinners, built entirely with HTML, CSS, and no JavaScript.
Border spinner
Use the border spinners for a lightweight loading indicator.
<div class="spinner-border" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>
Colors
The border spinner uses currentColor
for its border-color
, meaning you can customize the color with text color utilities.
<div class="spinner-border text-primary" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-secondary" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-success" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-danger" role="status">
<span class="visually-hidden">Loading...</span>
</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-warning" role="status">

</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-info" role="status">

</div>
<div class="spinner-border text-dark" role="status">

Alignment
Spinners in Bootstrap are built with rem
s, currentColor
, and display: inline-flex
. This means they can easily be resized, recolored, and quickly aligned.
