aria-label="Loading…" | Sets an accessible name for the element. |
Considerations for developers
- Place
Spininside a container withrole="status"andaria-live="polite"attributes for the screen reader to announce the start of the loading process (example). - If there's more than one
Spinin aTable, aCard, or another container, and they can start or finish loading simultaneously, add thearia-busy="true"attribute to the container and set it tofalsewhen all items have finished loading. This ensures the user isn't repeatedly notified about the loading of each element.
