Installation

npm install react-dotdotdotloader

Usage

Using NPM

1 . Require react-dotdotdotloader after installation

import { DotDotDotLoader } from 'react-dotdotdotloader'

2 . Include react-dotdotdotloader component

<DotDotDotLoader />

3 . Customize options

<DotDotDotLoader 
  amount={3}
  show={this.state.showLoader}
  interval={500}
  repeat={true}
/>

Options

Option|Type | Description |:---|:---|:--- amount | Integer | Max number of dots to display. (Default is 3) show | Boolean | True will show the loader and false will hide the loader. (Required to show and hide loader) interval | Integer | The number of ms between each dot appearing. (Default is 500) repeat | Boolean | True will have the loader loop from one dot to the amount. If false loader will not loop and ignore amount, adding dots indefinitely until show is false (Default is true)

Styles

react-dotdotdotloader will inherit any styles from its parent container. This allows the loader to have the same style as other components in the same contianer or have its own style. Use the same css properties as if you were changing text styling to change the look of the dots. See live demo for example.
