# Spinner

A React component in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Feedback](https://beamline.io/components/feedback) category, in the free sample. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/spinner

A ring that spins while work runs and closes into a drawn check or cross when it ends.

## Use it for

- Short indeterminate work tied to one row, button or step.

## Not for

- Page loading → skeleton.
- Known progress → progress.

## Anatomy

- track
- arc
- check / cross

## Variants

- **size**: sm, md, lg

## States

- loading
- success
- error

## Keyboard

- role=status while loading; role=img with Done/Failed after.

## Motion

The loading ring rotates while visible; managed/OS reduction holds the ring still. Success/error retains a meaningful shape and label; draw and arc use semantic timings.

- [Alert](https://beamline.io/components/alert): A message that stays until it is dealt with: what happened, what to do, an action; danger and warning are announced; dismissing folds its height away.
- [Announcement bar](https://beamline.io/components/announcement-bar): A banner across the top for news and offers: messages take turns, a countdown ticks, and dismissing folds it away and can remember it.
- [Empty state](https://beamline.io/components/empty-state): What a place will hold and the first step to fill it, instead of a blank; a compact size for panels and filtered tables.
- [Notification centre](https://beamline.io/components/notification-center): Updates that wait to be read: a bell with the unread count opens All / Unread, new and earlier groups, and per item mark read or dismiss.
- [Progress](https://beamline.io/components/progress): How much of a known task is done, or a moving bar when the length is unknown, with an optional label and value.
- [Skeleton](https://beamline.io/components/skeleton): Holds the shape of content while it loads, then crossfades into it, so nothing jumps.
- [Usage meter](https://beamline.io/components/usage-meter): An allowance and what fills it: one bar split by source, the room left, a warning near the limit and the overflow in its own red well past a notch at the…
