Title: Spinners
Order: 4
---
For all available spinners, see https://jsfiddle.net/sindresorhus/2eLtsbey/embedded/result/
# Usage
Spinners can be used with [Progress](xref:progress) and [Status](xref:status).
```csharp
AnsiConsole.Status()
.Spinner(Spinner.Known.Star)
.Start("Thinking...", ctx => {
// Omitted
});
```
# Implementing a spinner
To implement your own spinner, all you have to do is
inherit from the `Spinner` base class.
In the example below, the spinner will alterate between
the characters `A`, `B` and `C` every 100 ms.
```csharp
public sealed class MySpinner : Spinner
{
// The interval for each frame
public override TimeSpan Interval => TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100);
// Whether or not the spinner contains unicode characters
public override bool IsUnicode => false;
// The individual frames of the spinner
public override IReadOnlyList<string> Frames =>
new List<string>
{
"A", "B", "C",
};
}
```
