Spinner

The Spinner widget provides a visual loading indicator for your Preswald application. It’s useful for indicating that content is being loaded or that an operation is in progress.

​

Properties

​

Basic Usage

import preswald as pw

def app():
    pw.spinner(label="Loading data...")

pw.run(app)

​

Examples

​

Default Spinner

import preswald as pw

def app():
    pw.spinner()  # Uses default "Loading..." text

​

Custom Label

import preswald as pw

def app():
    pw.spinner(label="Fetching results...")

​

Card Variant

The card variant wraps the spinner in a card container for better visual hierarchy.

import preswald as pw

def app():
    pw.spinner(
        label="Processing...",
        variant="card"
    )

​

Hidden Label

import preswald as pw

def app():
    pw.spinner(showLabel=False)  # Shows only the spinning animation

​

Custom Styling

import preswald as pw

def app():
    pw.spinner(
        label="Please wait",
        className="bg-gray-100 rounded-lg"
    )

Notes

• The spinner uses a clean, animated border design that’s visually appealing and lightweight
• The card variant is useful when you want to emphasize the loading state in your layout
• You can customize the appearance using the className property
• The spinner is centered by default and works well in both inline and block contexts
