Spinner Styles Reference

Spectre.Console includes various built-in spinner types that can be used with AnsiConsole.Status() or when creating progress displays. Each spinner has a unique animation style.

Usage Example

await AnsiConsole.Status()
    .Spinner(Spinner.Known.Dots)
    .StartAsync("Thinking...", async ctx =>
    {
        await Task.Delay(3000);
    });

Important Notes

• Frame Rate: Spinners cycle through frames at regular intervals (typically 100ms).
• Custom Spinners: You can create custom spinners by inheriting from the Spinner class.
• Known Spinners: Access pre-defined spinners via Spinner.Known static class.
