Eight-Point Star Loader: a rangoli loading animation

When to use the Eight-Point Star Loader

Use it for a bolder, more geometric look. The squares turn against each other, so the star keeps forming and breaking apart. The strong colours fit a sale page better than a quiet settings screen.

Add the Eight-Point Star Loader to React or Next.js

1. Pick a component. Open it in ExodeUI to change its text and colours, or keep it as it is.
2. Download the .bexode file and put it in your public folder.
3. Install the runtime with npm i exodeui.
4. Render it with ExodeUICanvas. Taps and hovers work out of the box, and fireTrigger plays it from your code.

import { ExodeUICanvas, useExodeUI } from 'exodeui';

export function EightPointStarLoader() {
  const { setEngine, fireTrigger } = useExodeUI();

  return (
    <>
      <div style={{ width: 400, height: 300 }}>
        <ExodeUICanvas
          src="/ui-gallery/files/eight-point-star-loader.bexode"
          autoPlay
          onReady={setEngine}
          style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%' }}
        />
      </div>
      {/* Optional: taps on the canvas already work */}
      <button onClick={() => fireTrigger('in_whirl')}>Play from code</button>
    </>
  );
}

Frequently asked questions

Is the Eight-Point Star Loader free to use?

Yes. Try it here, open it in ExodeUI on the free Community plan or download the .exode file.

What does the Eight-Point Star Loader do?

Layered squares turn against each other, so a star keeps re-forming. It loops by itself. Tap the rangoli to spin it.

How do I stop it when my content is ready?

Render it while your data loads and remove it from the page when the data arrives. The animation loops until you do.

Can I restyle the Eight-Point Star Loader for my brand?

Yes. Open it in ExodeUI and every colour, label, shape and timing can be edited. Any names and prices in it are sample content.

Can my code control it?

Yes. Fire its trigger (in_whirl) with fireTrigger from useExodeUI. Your own code still handles what the action does, such as saving the choice.
