Spinner The p-spinner component indicates an indeterminate ongoing process and should be used when users must wait for loading or processing to finish. There are unavoidable moments when the user has to wait for more than 1 second (for example due to technical processing of information or requests). These moments should be bridged with a good user feedback in order to not leave the user uncertain about what's currently happening - also to avoid a high bounce rate and to obtain a positive impression of your website or application. For ongoing operations between 2-10 seconds, where the loading progress cannot be determined, use a Spinner (looped indicator) to inform the user about an ongoing operation. Use it either stand-alone (for example as page loader) or within components, such as in Buttons to indicate progress after clicking "save".

Global settingsColor SchemeAll color tokens use the light-dark() CSS function. Set the theme via the CSS color-scheme property: light for light mode, dark for dark mode, or light dark to follow the user's system preference.LightDarkLight DarkDirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
