Provides an accessible name for the spinner. Note: one of aria-label or aria-labelledby is required.
aria-labelledby="[id of spinner label]"
.pf-c-spinner
Gives the spinner an accessible name by referring to the element that labels the spinner.
aria-describedby="[id of spinner description]"
.pf-c-spinner
Gives the spinner an accessible description by referring to the element that describes the spinner.
