Catégorie	Feedback
Type	CSS pur (`.mv-spinner`)
Statut	stable
Keywords	spinner, loader, loading, chargement, dots, bars, orbit, pulse, ring

When to use

A button or inline area waits on a short action of unknown duration, such as saving or submitting
A small, neutral loading cue must inherit the surrounding text color at any size

Avoid when

The loading content has a known layout that placeholders could preview → use Skeleton instead
The completion percentage is known and should be shown → use Progress instead
An AI assistant is generating a reply and needs a branded thinking indicator with a label → use Pixel Loader instead

API

Attributes

Name	Type	Default	Description
`data-variant`	ring \| arc \| dots \| bars \| orbit \| pulse	`ring`	Animation shape.
`data-size`	xs \| sm \| lg \| xl	`(1.25rem)`	Size: 0.875, 1, 1.25, 2 or 3 rem.

CSS classes

Name	Description
`mv-spinner`	On a `<span role="status">` containing a .mv-sr-only label (or aria-hidden="true" when paired with visible text).
`mv-spinner-label`	Spinner + visible text row (put role="status" on this container).

CSS variables

Name	Default	Description
`--mv-spinner-size`	`1.25rem`	Custom size (overrides data-size).
`--mv-spinner-color`	`currentColor`	Color (inherits the text color by default).
`--mv-spinner-speed`	`1`	Speed multiplier (2 = twice as fast).

Accessibility

role="status" + a .mv-sr-only label (“Loading…”) for a polite announcement; inside a button or next to visible text, set aria-hidden="true" on the spinner and let the text carry the information. Reduced motion: animations stop, the static shape stays visible.
