How to show a compact wait indicator on buttons and status rows with Generative Loaders

Display a small animated activity state while an AI request is pending.

Short answer: Run npm install generative-loaders in the project; then import InlineLoader and the styles stylesheet from Generative Loaders; Render InlineLoader next to the pending text, choosing a variant such as dot-pulse or spark and a size. All steps.

Who it is forA developer whose app triggers an AI action from a button or status line and needs a visible wait state before any text arrives.

The problemUsers click a button and see nothing change while the model works, so they may click again or assume the app is stuck.

The outcomeThe button or status row shows an animated indicator with a clear label until the response starts.

What you need first

  • Node.js and npm to install the package
  • A React app using React 18 or newer
  • A streaming or pending response source, such as a fetch endpoint, for the text and status cases

Steps

  1. Run npm install generative-loaders in the project.
  2. Import InlineLoader and the styles stylesheet from Generative Loaders.
  3. Render InlineLoader next to the pending text, choosing a variant such as dot-pulse or spark and a size.
  4. Add a label prop when the loader stands alone, or leave it off when adjacent text already describes the activity.
  5. Trigger a slow request and confirm the indicator appears and stops when the response begins.

Prompt for your agent

In the kasturibuilds/generative-loaders package, add an InlineLoader to the pending state of <component-name> with a label that describes the request. Expected output: the updated component and a one-line summary of the chosen variant. Verify that the label is set when the loader has no nearby text describing the activity.

Caveat. The README says InlineLoader avoids duplicate announcements only when adjacent text already describes the activity, so standalone uses need the label prop.
