Quick Tips

Click to view
  • To display the animated loader, we need to import the Loader component using the below statement

    import Loader from 'react-loader-spinner'
  • In order to display the given animated loader, pass the type and color props to the Loader component with values as Rings and #ffffff, respectively

    <Loader type="Rings" color="#ffffff" height={80} width={80} />

Important Note

Things to Keep in Mind

  • All components you implement should go in the src/components directory.
  • Don't change the component folder names as those are the files being imported into the tests.
  • Do not remove the pre-filled code
