Textarea Loading Input Group for Solid

A disabled textarea with a spinner under it, and a disabled file field with a spinner at its end.

UI library: Ark UI

Two busy controls. The textarea is disabled, says Generating content..., and has a spinner in a bordered row under the text. The file field is disabled, says Uploading file..., and has a spinner at the end.

Put the spinner under a textarea and beside a one-line field. If the text arrives in pieces, write each piece in yourself. A page-level wait is a Spinner on its own. In Solid, Ark UI does not fill the textarea for you.

FAQ

How does the spinner sit under the textarea?

In an InputGroupAddon with align="block-end" and border-t, after the textarea.

And in the input?

An inline-end addon after the input.

How are the controls disabled?

disabled on InputGroupTextarea and InputGroupInput. data-disabled="true" on InputGroup dims the addons.

How do I show generated text as it streams?

Make the textarea controlled, append each chunk to its value, and keep it read-only rather than disabled so people can scroll and select.

How are the controls labeled?

With aria-label, Content and File, since neither has a visible label.

Is the spinner announced?

It has aria-label="Loading". For a message that's read when loading starts, use a role="status" region.
