70+ spinners for use in the terminal

The list of spinners is just a JSON file and can be used wherever.

You probably want to use one of these spinners through the ora package.

npm install cli-spinners

import cliSpinners from 'cli-spinners';

console.log(cliSpinners.dots);
/*
{
	interval: 80,
	frames: ['⠋', '⠙', '⠹', '⠸', '⠼', '⠴', '⠦', '⠧', '⠇', '⠏']
}
*/

• interval is the intended time per frame, in milliseconds.
• frames is an array of frames to show for the spinner.

The header GIF is outdated. See live demo.

Each spinner comes with a recommended interval and an array of frames.

See the spinners.

Get a random spinner.
