Loading icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
Ring of twelve radial dashes that taper in length, for loading, processing and pending states. Typical uses: button loading state while saving, page overlay during a data fetch and pending row in an upload list.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- Submit buttons waiting on a request, swapped in for the button's glyph and rotated with CSS until it settles
- Rows in an upload or import list that are still processing, before they turn to a done or failed mark
- Search fields and command palettes fetching results, in place of the magnifier while a query runs
For a large spinner centered on an empty page, chart or canvas while data loads, use the Squares Ring icon. For a reload or retry button the user presses to fetch again, use the Refresh Arrow Clockwise icon. For a job queued until a set time, or a rate limit that resets later, use the Hourglass icon.
Which styles does it come in?
4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.
How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?
Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.
What icons go well with it?
Icons from the same family and the Alerts set: Exclamation Badge, Exclamation Circle, Exclamation Hexagon, Information Circle, Information Hexagon and Megaphone.
When was it added?
It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026.
