📦 Installation

To install this component, run:

yarn add @bliss-design-system/loading

🏎 Usage

To use this component, you'll need to register the component to the window's Custom Elements Registry. In order to achieve that, you'll want to call this function within your application's client-facing entry file:

import { blissRegisterLoading } from '@bliss-design-system/loading';

blissRegisterLoading(); // Registers <bliss-loading>

That will make the component available in your application and you can use it like this:

<!-- Render a loading component at medium size -->
<bliss-loading></bliss-loading>

Properties

The component accepts the following properties:

Property	Type	Description	Default	Required	Options
size	String	Size of the loading component	medium	false	medium or large

Styling

By default, <bliss-loading> will inherit the color property from its parent element. This means that if you are using a <bliss-loading> component inside of a button and the text color is red, then <bliss-loading> will inherit this color value and also be red. But, if you want to change the color of <bliss-loading>, add the following to your application's styles:

bliss-loading {
  color: blue;
}

🫕 Contributing

If you'd like to contribute, please open an issue with your suggested change on our Proposal Board. Once that is accepted, either the Bliss team will work on it or you can make changes locally by doing the following:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://gitlab.com/bliss-design-system/components.git

cd components/

# Install the dependencies

You don't need to move into the package's directory to run storybook, tests or anything else. All of those commands exist in the root of the component toolkit, so while you can work on the component within its specific folder, you don't need to move through directories to run anything.
