Server Side Rendering
While the library works with SSR, the spinner's animation CSS will be attached to the head only on the hydrate
phase, which means the spinners will start animating only after the page is fully loaded. To work around this, include the needed css in your bundle.css manually:
/* App.css */
/* to load animation for a specific spinner */
@import "~spinners-react/lib/SpinnerCircular.css";
/* to load animations for all spinners at once */
@import "~spinners-react/lib/index.css";
Minimizing Bundle Size
The library is thin and do not rely on any style library / runtime to be used. To reduce the bundle size even more load only the used components. If you're using ES6 modules and a bundler that supports tree-shaking you can safely use named imports:
import { SpinnerCircular } from 'spinners-react';
It that's not the case you're able to use path imports to avoid pulling in unused spinners:
// ESM
import { SpinnerCircular } from 'spinners-react/lib/esm/SpinnerCircular';
// or CJS
const { SpinnerCircular } = require('spinners-react/lib/cjs/SpinnerCircular');
// or UMD
const { SpinnerCircular } = require('spinners-react/lib/cjs/SpinnerCircular');
UMD bundle usage
<!doctype html>
<html>

<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>
<!-- to load a specific spinner -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/spinners-react/lib/umd/SpinnerCircular.min.js"></script>
<!-- to load all spinners at once -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/spinners-react/lib/umd/index.min.js"></script>
