Angular Press and Hold Button

Angular Press and Hold Button is a customizable, easy-to-use Angular component that provides a press-and-hold interaction for buttons.

Sample code | Stackblitz

Features

• Customizable background and progress colors.
• Configurable duration for the press-and-hold action.
• Emission of events for action started, cancelled, and finished.
• Support for dynamic icons based on the action state.

Installation

To install Angular Press and Hold Button, run the following command in your Angular project:

npm install angular-press-hold-button

Usage

First, import AngularPressHoldButton in your Angular module or component:

import { AngularPressHoldButton } from "angular-press-hold-button";

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, AngularPressHoldButton],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

Then, you can use the angular-press-hold-button component in your templates:

<angular-press-hold-button [duration]="2000" [backgroundColor]="'#2ecc71'" [progressColor]="'#27ae60'" [labelStart]="'Press and hold'" [labelProgress]="'Keep holding...'" [labelFinish]="'Done!'" (actionStarted)="handleActionStarted()" (actionCancelled)="handleActionCancelled()" (actionFinished)="handleActionFinished()">
  <i class="fa-solid fa-question" slot="left" when="start"></i>
  <i class="fa-solid fa-arrow-right" slot="right" when="progress"></i>
  <i class="fa-solid fa-check" slot="right" when="finish"></i>
</angular-press-hold-button>

Icons

The angular-press-hold-button component supports the dynamic display of icons based on the button's state. You can control the positioning and timing of icon display using the slot and when attributes respectively. Font icons, SVG and images are compatible.

Slot Attribute

The slot attribute determines the position of the icon within the button. There are two options for slot:

• left: Positions the icon on the left side of the button.
• right: Positions the icon on the right side of the button.

Example usage:

<i class="fa fa-icon-name" slot="left"></i>
<!-- Icon on the left -->
<i class="fa fa-icon-name" slot="right"></i>
<!-- Icon on the right -->

When Attribute

The when attribute specifies when the icon should be displayed, based on the button's action state. There are three options for when:

• start: The icon is displayed before the button action starts (i.e., before the user starts pressing the button).
• progress: The icon is displayed during the button action (i.e., while the user is holding the button down).
• finish: The icon is displayed when the button action finishes (i.e., when the user keep holding the specified duration and the action completes successfully).

Example usage:

<i class="fa fa-icon-name" slot="left" when="start"></i>
<!-- Shown at start -->
<i class="fa fa-icon-name" slot="right" when="progress"></i>
<!-- Shown during progress -->
<i class="fa fa-icon-name" slot="right" when="finish"></i>
<!-- Shown at finish -->

By combining the slot and when attributes, you can precisely control the display of icons within the angular-press-hold-button component, enhancing the interactive experience.
