|---|---|---|---|
| size | "sm" | "md" | "lg" | "md" | 16, 24 or 32 px. |
| variant | "ring" | "petals" | "ring" | ring: a quarter arc over a faint track. petals: eight graded bars stepping round. |
| label | string | "Loading" | Visually hidden text read out by the role=status region. Pass "" when decorative to hide the spinner from assistive tech. |
Build notes
An inline SVG rotated by `animate-spin` (see the Pebble paragraph for the ring and petals drawings); the gap or the bright bar is what reads as motion. It inherits color from its parent, so it matches any text or button. Under reduced motion the spin slows to 2 s per turn rather than stopping, because a frozen spinner looks like a broken one. With a `label` it is a `role="status"` region with sr-only text; with `label=""` it is `aria-hidden`. **Pebble (2026-11-03).** The border ring was replaced by an inline SVG so the stroke can have round caps and a faint track. `ring` (default) draws a full circle at 18% opacity with a quarter arc on top; `petals` draws eight radial bars with opacity falling from 1 to 0.15 and steps the rotation through eight stops (`steps(8)` set inline, because an arbitrary timing-function class does not reliably beat the `animate-spin` shorthand), so the bright bar appears to travel instead of the whole mark turning. Stroke width is set per size in viewBox units (3 / 2.5 / 2.25) so the line stays 2-3 px on screen, and the small petals are lengthened to stay legible at 16 px. Colour is still `currentColor`, the reduced-motion 2 s spin is kept, and `data-variant` is exposed. <!-- PEBBLE-LICENSE -->
