You can use v-if:

Vue.component('spinner', {
  template: `
    <div class="">
      loading...
    </div>
  `
})

new Vue({
  el: '#demo',
  data() {
    return {
      loading: true
    }
  },
  methods: {
    loadData() {
    // this would be your axios call
      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('finished loading!');
        // on success just change data property
        this.loading = false
      }, 2000);
    }
  },
  mounted() {
    this.loadData()
  }
})
