Loaders.css

Delightful and performance-focused pure css loading animations.

What is this?

See the demo

A collection of loading animations written entirely in css. Each animation is limited to a small subset of css properties in order to avoid expensive painting and layout calculations.

I've posted links below to some fantastic articles that go into this in a lot more detail.

Install

bower install loaders.css
npm i --save loaders.css

Usage

Standard
  • Include loaders.min.css
  • Create an element and add the animation class (e.g. <div class="loader-inner ball-pulse"></div>)
  • Insert the appropriate number of <div>s into that element
jQuery (optional)
  • Include loaders.min.css, jQuery, and loaders.css.js
  • Create an element and add the animation class (e.g. <div class="loader-inner ball-pulse"></div>)
  • loaders.js is a simple helper to inject the correct number of div elements for each animation
  • To initialise loaders that are added after page load select the div and call loaders on them (e.g. $('.loader-inner').loaders())
  • Enjoy

Customising

Changing the background color

Add styles to the correct child div elements

.ball-grid-pulse > div {
  background-color: orange;
}
Changing the loader size

Use a 2D Scale transform

.loader-small .loader-inner {
  transform: scale(0.5, 0.5);
}

Browser support

Check the can I use tables. All recent versions of the major browsers are supported and it has support back to IE9.

Note: The loaders aren't run through autoprefixer, see this issue.

IE 11 Firefox 36 Chrome 41 Safari 8

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome! Create another file in src/animations and load it in src/loader.scss.

In a separate tab run gulp --require coffee-script/register. Open demo/demo.html in a browser to see your animation running.

Further research

Inspired by loaders.css

A few other folks have taken loaders and ported them elsewhere.

  • Remove prefixing

    Remove prefixing

    Everyone could/should be using Autoprefixer (or some similar/lesser tool) in their development environment. It's usually a bad practice to have prefixing in libraries.

    Created mixins and fixes missing cross-browsers prefixes

    I did some changes as introduce mixins to generate cross-browsers prefixes and fixes some missing styles too. When I built on my local machine, the demo wasn't running as I expected and as demo on your site.

    Thanks

  • Animation declaration dropped by Firefox

    Animation declaration dropped by Firefox

    Firefox can't parse this (example):
    animation: line-scale-pulse-out-rapid 0.9s 0 infinite cubic-bezier(.11,.49,.38,.78);

    After changing it to
    animation: line-scale-pulse-out-rapid 0.9s 0s infinite cubic-bezier(.11,.49,.38,.78);
    it works.

  • Added JS to populate `.loader-inner`s

    Added JS to populate `.loader-inner`s

    Cool library. I wouldn't actually use it if I had to manually insert a random number of divs into an element.

    1. It clutters development markup
    2. It's hard to remember how many divs go into XYZ

    This PR fixes that.

  • 'ball-clip-rotate' shouldn't pulse

    'ball-clip-rotate' shouldn't pulse

    I've removed the pulsing (change in scale) of this loader, as I figured their should be a version that simply spins without any kind of pulsing - just my opinion.

  • Added support for angularjs

    Added support for angularjs

    Same thing as loaders.css.js but for angular users that don't want to rely on JQuery or whatever js framework.

    This code relies on angular directives to achieve the same result and changes to the loader class will be instantly reflected (provided that you're in a scope digest)

  • Angular directive

    Angular directive

    Not really an issue ;) For the need of a project, I wrote a directive which is doing basically the same stuff than the JQuery but for Angular.js. I thought it could be useful for some people.

    Feel free to check it : https://github.com/the-cormoran/angular-loaders

    Thanks for the good work btw.

  • Possible to change speed?

    Possible to change speed?

    These are beyond incredible. Is there currently a way to access the speed of the loading animation (slower/faster transitions between a given loader's various states)?

    The description says emphasis is on performance, but how does this compare to other libraries (daneden/[email protected]) or just an animated gif loader? Both CSS transitions and animated GIF loaders are blocked by JavaScript, but is there some other performance gain from using CSS transition loaders?

    Documentation on what browsers this supports

    I know i can dig into the code and use caniuse.com to figure this one out but I'm wondering if you know off hand what browsers this supports?

    If so then it would be awesome if you could throw a table into the Readme for quick reference.

    If not then just let me know and I'll jump in and cross reference with caniuse.com and maybe create a PR with the compatibility table :wink:

    Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! ๐Ÿ™‚

    This is the best! Just one quick question

    I think that the license made it clear that I can do this, but just one question. instead of downloading the source, can I just copy this code into a css file and link it to my index.html like you did on your website? here is the css I am talking about: click here. I was just wondering if this would work, or if I need to give attribution, or if I am even allowed to.
