CSS Loading Spinner Button (State Transition)

Idle → pending → success in one button that never changes width, because all three labels are stacked in the same grid cell. The spinner is a conic gradient masked into a ring, the success tick draws itself with stroke-dashoffset, and the state lives in a single data-state attribute mirrored to aria-busy and a live region.

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const btn = document.querySelector('.cb-06__btn');
  const live = document.getElementById('cb-06-live');
  if (!btn) return;
  const set = (state, msg) => {
    btn.dataset.state = state;
    btn.disabled = state === 'busy';
    btn.setAttribute('aria-busy', String(state === 'busy'));
    if (msg) live.textContent = msg;
  };
  btn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    if (btn.dataset.state !== 'idle') return;
    set('busy', 'Saving changes');
    // Replace both timeouts with your real await fetch(...) resolution.
    setTimeout(() => set('done', 'Changes saved'), 1500);
    setTimeout(() => set('idle', ''), 3200);
  });
})();
```

How this works

Layout stability comes from stacking every state on grid-area:1/1 so the button is always as wide as its widest label — no jump when "Save changes" becomes "Saving":

.cb-06__btn{ display:grid; }
.cb-06__slot{ grid-area:1/1; display:flex; gap:.5rem; justify-content:center;
  opacity:0; scale:.9; transition:opacity .22s, scale .22s; }
.cb-06__btn[data-state='idle'] .cb-06__slot--idle,
.cb-06__btn[data-state='busy'] .cb-06__slot--busy,
.cb-06__btn[data-state='done'] .cb-06__slot--done{ opacity:1; scale:1; }

The spinner needs no SVG: a conic gradient clipped to a ring by two masks, spun with one keyframe.

.cb-06__spin{
  background:conic-gradient(from 0deg,transparent 0 25%,currentColor);
  mask:radial-gradient(farthest-side,transparent calc(100% - 2.5px),#000 0);
  animation:cb-06-spin .7s linear infinite;
}

The JS is nine lines: set data-state, toggle disabled and aria-busy, write "Saving" / "Saved" into an aria-live="polite" span so the change is announced, then return to idle. Announcement is text, never the spinner — motion alone is invisible to assistive tech.

Make it yours

  • Wire it to a real request: replace the setTimeout with your await fetch() and set data-state from the resolved/rejected branch.
  • Add an error state by copying the done slot, swapping the icon for an alert glyph and tinting with --danger.
  • Hold the success state longer by raising the second timeout; 1200-1600ms is the readable range.
  • Make the spinner thicker by changing the 2.5px inside both mask stops (they must match).
  • For destructive actions keep the button disabled after success and let the parent view navigate instead of resetting.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Disabled buttons are removed from the tab order, so focus is lost mid-flow. Either keep focus by not disabling and using aria-disabled, or accept it and move focus deliberately after the response.
  • A spinner with no text change is silent to screen readers. aria-busy="true" plus a polite live region is the minimum.
  • Never animate width between states — stack the labels. Width animation causes reflow on every frame and text reflow mid-transition.
  • mask still needs -webkit-mask for older WebKit; both are declared here.
  • Under prefers-reduced-motion a spinning ring should become a pulsing or static indicator — the state must remain visible, so don't just delete the animation without a replacement (this demo swaps to an opacity pulse).

Browser support

ChromeSafariFirefoxEdge
120+15.4+113+120+

mask shorthand needs Chrome 120 / Safari 15.4 / Firefox 53 (with -webkit- prefix declared first for Safari ≤ 15.3). conic-gradient, grid stacking and data-attribute selectors are universal.
