LoadingSpinner

Status: Stable
Storybook

The standard NerdWallet loading spinner lets users know that a process is underway. This iteration of the component is circular and visualizes an unspecified wait time – spinning persists until the process is complete.

Best practices

  • Center on a screen to indicate the initial loading of an entire screen.
  • Place LoadingSpinner in context of where new content will appear to help draw attention.
  • Leverage the NerdWallet Button's loading prop to display a LoadingSpinner within a Button.
