Loading: we can use as a loading icon

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command.
```
npx create-react-app foldername
```
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command.
```
cd foldername
```
Step 3: Install semantic UI in your given directory.
```
 npm install semantic-ui-react semantic-ui-css
```

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Example 1: In this example, we will use a icon component with state of icons as enabled by using ReactJS Semantic UI Icon element.

App.js

import React from 'react'
import {Icon} from 'semantic-ui-react'
  
const styleLink = document.createElement("link"); 
styleLink.rel = "stylesheet"; 
styleLink.href =  
"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/semantic-ui/dist/semantic.min.css"; 
document.head.appendChild(styleLink); 
  
const Btt = () =>(  
<div> 
    <br/> 
    <Icon enabled name='angle double left' size='big' /> 
    <Icon enabled name='angle left' size='big' /> 
    <Icon enabled name='circle' size='big' /> 
    <Icon enabled name='angle right' size='big' /> 
    <Icon enabled name='angle double right' size='big' /> 
  
</div> 
) 
  
export default Btt     

Step to Run Application: Run the application from the root directory of the project, using the following command.

npm start

Output:

    <Icon disabled name='angle double right' size='big' /> 
  
</div> 
) 
  
export default Btt     

Step to Run Application: Run the application from the root directory of the project, using the following command.

Example 3: In this example, we will use a icon component with state of icons as loading by using ReactJS Semantic UI Icon element.

App.js

import React from 'react'
import {Icon} from 'semantic-ui-react'
  
const styleLink = document.createElement("link"); 
styleLink.rel = "stylesheet"; 
styleLink.href =  
"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/semantic-ui/dist/semantic.min.css"; 
document.head.appendChild(styleLink); 
  
const Btt = () =>(  
<div> 
    <br/> 
    <Icon loading name='angle double left' size='big' /> 
    <Icon loading name='angle left' size='big' /> 
    <Icon loading name='circle' size='big' /> 
    <Icon loading name='angle right' size='big' /> 
    <Icon loading name='angle double right' size='big' /> 
  
</div> 
) 
  
export default Btt
