Display a Loading Sign while a model is being trained in Shiny App

I am making a Shiny App in which, at the click of the actionButton, a model is trained using the caret package. As this training takes time - approximately 4-5 minutes - I wanted to display a loading sign or a loading GIF in the App where results are displayed after the model is trained. Otherwise, the User wouldn't know what is happening or when the model is trained.

Thanks

There is loading spinner which you can use in your ui.R

# loading the library
library(shinycssloaders)
withSpinner()

# For example, if you have the plot for which you would like to show loading spinner before it's gets drawn while making some data manipulation 
withSpinner(plotOutput("my_plot"))

You can find more information about it on https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/shinycssloaders/README.html
