    Spinner

    A Spinner appears before a page is loaded to assure a user that the content is on its way.

    Used for this
    • When the content to be loaded is unknown or unpredictable
    Not for this
    • When page content is easily estimated, use a Skeleton instead
    • To indicate a loading state within a component (like menus, inputs, or buttons) use Dots instead

    How to use it
