Border Spinner
Use the border spinners for a lightweight loading indicator.
The border spinner uses currentColor for its border-color, meaning you
can customize the color with
text color utilities. You can use any of our text color utilities on the standard spinner.

Growing spinner
If you don’t fancy a border spinner, switch to the grow spinner. While it doesn’t technically spin, it does repeatedly grow!
Once again, this spinner is built with currentColor, so you can easily change its
appearance with
text color utilities. Here it is in blue, along with the supported variants.

Alignment
Spinners in Bootstrap are built with rems, currentColor, and
display: inline-flex. This means they can easily be resized, recolored, and quickly
aligned.
Use margin utilities like .m-5 for easy spacing.

Size
Add .spinner-border-sm and .spinner-grow-sm to make a smaller spinner
that can quickly be used within other components.

Buttons
Use spinners within buttons to indicate an action is currently processing or taking place. You may also swap the text out of the spinner element and utilize button text as needed.
