Question 1

How to change SpinKit spinner color?

Accepted Answer

Override the --sk-color CSS variable on the spinner element, e.g., style="--sk-color: #ff0000;", or directly set the background-color property in your CSS for broader browser support.

Question 2

SpinKit vs Loaders.css – which is better for modern web apps?

Accepted Answer

SpinKit is pure CSS with no dependencies, ideal for lightweight projects, while Loaders.css offers similar CSS spinners but may have more community integrations. Choose SpinKit if you prioritize zero JavaScript and easy extraction.

Question 3

How to center a SpinKit spinner in a div?

Accepted Answer

Add the sk-center class to the spinner div for auto margins, or use CSS flexbox/grid on the parent container for more precise control, as the README suggests with the utility class.

Question 4

Does SpinKit work with React or Vue components?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you need to manually import the CSS and copy the HTML structure into your components. There are no pre-built React or Vue wrappers, so integration requires extra setup.

Question 5

How to make a SpinKit spinner smaller?

Accepted Answer

Adjust the --sk-size CSS variable to a lower value, e.g., 20px, or override the width and height properties directly in your stylesheet for finer size control.

Question 6

Is SpinKit accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

No, SpinKit focuses on visual spinners without built-in ARIA attributes. You should manually add aria-live="polite" or aria-busy="true" to ensure accessibility for loading states.

Question 7

Can I use SpinKit with Sass or CSS modules?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it's plain CSS, you can import spinkit.css into Sass files or reference classes in CSS modules. However, you'll still need to handle the HTML structure separately for each spinner.
