README
# LDRS
Lightweight loaders & spinners for your next web project. Available as Web and React components.
- **44 types** : Unique enough to be interesting; simple enough to use in real-world projects
- **Universal** : Use with React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, plain HTML...
- **Customizable** : Set the size, color, stroke width, and animation speed to match your design
- **Tiny** : No frameworks. No bloat. Dues-paying member of the iddy biddy bundle committee
- **Vanilla** : Only want the HTML & CSS? Just select a loader on [the website](https://uiball.com/ldrs) and go to `Source` -> `HTML & CSS`
- **Typed** : No one likes a squiggly red underline
- **No gifs** : Built with HTML, CSS and some lightweight SVG
- **Zero dependencies** : Zero worries
➠ Visit the [🌐 Website](https://uiball.com/ldrs) to see them all in action.
## Installation
**NPM**
```jsx
npm install ldrs
```
**Yarn**
```jsx
yarn add ldrs
```
## React
React exports have been added to LDRS as of `v1.1.3`. They can be imported from `ldrs/react` and use PascalCase. Attributes are identical to the web components except they are snakeCase. When using the React components, CSS must be imported separately from `ldrs/react/[ComponentName].css`
```jsx
import { Ring } from 'ldrs/react'
import 'ldrs/react/Ring.css'
```
## Web Components
Web components need to be registered or "defined" to work. Until registration they're just empty HTML elements that don't do anything. For convenience, LDRS come in two varieties: auto-defining and manually defined. Auto-defining elements are released as individual .js files that register themselves on import. Manually defined elements are named exports that come with a `register()` method.
The full list of loaders can be found on [the website](https://uiball.com/ldrs).
```js
// Auto-defining
import 'ldrs/ring'
// Manually defined
import { ring } from 'ldrs'
ring.register()
```
You can rename your loader by passing a string to the `register()` method. Note that custom element names must contain a dash `-`.
```js
import { ring } from 'ldrs'
ring.register('my-precious')
```
```html
```
Here's a very simple example of using an auto-defining loader in a client-rendered React SPA:
```jsx
import 'ldrs/helix'
export default function PageSection({ isLoading }) {
return (
{isLoading && }
)
}
```
## Frameworks
Web components can only be run in a client-side environment, so they need to be excluded from SSR.

## Options
_Each loader has different defaults. You can see them on [the website](https://uiball.com/ldrs). Click on an individual loader and open the "source" sidebar._
### `size: number | string`
The size of the loader. Specifically, this defines the largest dimension (height or width) in pixels.
```jsx
```
### `color: string`
Any valid CSS color value is accepted, so `#000000`, `red`, `hsla(13, 68%, 63%, .7)`, and `var(--my-custom-color)` are all a-okay.
```jsx
```
### `speed: number | string`
The speed of the animation. Each loader uses this number a little differently (individual parts of a given loader might have different timings), but in general this number represents the duration of a single full animation loop in seconds, so smaller = faster. If you set speed to `0` or `Infinity` it will pause the animation.
```jsx
```
### `stroke: number | string`
The width / stroke in pixels of line-based loaders like `` or ``.
```jsx
```
### `stroke-length: number | string`
The length of the animated element of track-based loaders like `` or ``. Expressed as a fraction of total. Accepts a value from 0 to 1 (for example `.1` or `0.14159`).
```jsx
```
### `bg-opacity: number | string`
The opacity of background elements in loaders like `` or ``. Accepts a value from 0 to 1 (for example `.1` or `0.618`).
```jsx
```
