[Feature Request]: Show TextFilter count text in inactive/disabled color when loading

[phuctm97]

Description

Collection filter components has countText and loading props to display the number of matched results:

• countText always shows & triggers screen readers when there are filters
• loading delays screen readers to announce countText until it's false because the current countText may be out of date. It would make a lot of sense and a great user experience to show the countText in inactive/disabled status to indicate that it's out of date. Alternative solution is to have more specific loading/stale indicator for countText, but I think simply showing it in inactive/disabled color is already a great solution.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Adding a visual indicator of loading to the count text does seem like a sensible addition to the text filter component, however we don’t have any plans for making this change at the moment.

Would you guys accept a PR for this though? It seems to be a very simple PR and I'm willing to submit it.

Hi @phuctm97,

Thanks for your feedback on the collection filter. To help us better understand the issue and find the best solution, could you please provide a bit more context on the following:

• Use case: Can you describe typical use cases where users would rely on the countText while filtering? How important is it that the count is always up-to-date, given it's pretty smooth and quick to be updated?
• Impact of outdated count: What problems have you noticed when the countText is out of date during the loading phase?
• Screen reader behavior: Sounds like your primary concerns may relate to screen reader experiences. If so, did you notice any issues with how the countText is announced while loading?

Best regards, Atsushi
