Create a loading spinner using pure CSS.

Hello everyone. In this quick tutorial, let's learn how to create a loading spinner using pure CSS in 3 easy steps!

Step 1 - HTML

Create the HTML structure we need (which is just 1 line)

<div class="spinner"></div>

Step 2 - Add basic styles.

.spinner{
        width: 64px;
        height: 64px;
        border: 8px solid;
        border-color: #3d5af1 transparent #3d5af1 transparent;
        border-radius: 50%;
        animation: spin 1.2s linear infinite;
}

Step 3 - Add the spin animation

 @keyframes spin {
  0% {
    transform: rotate(0deg);
  }
  100% {
    transform: rotate(360deg);
  }

That's it! we have created the loading spinner. Here is the final result.

Thank u😀

You can simplify your keyframes

 @keyframes spin {
  100% {
    transform: rotate(360deg);
  }
}

I didn't know about this trick.
How does it work? Is it like we can skip original state of the element at 0%?

[Temani Afif]

if 0% or 100% is not defined then the default element style will get used
