Chilled Buttons for Angular2

For angular 1.x version go here.

angular2-promise-buttons is a simple module that let's you add a loading indicator to a button of your choice. Check out the demo!

Bug-reports or feature request as well as any other kind of feedback is highly welcome!

getting started

Install it via npm:

npm install angular2-promise-buttons -S

And add it as a dependency to your main module

import {Angular2PromiseButtonModule} from 'angular2-promise-buttons/dist';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    Angular2PromiseButtonModule
      .forRoot(
        // your custom config goes here
      ),
  ],
})
export class MainAppModule {
}

Using the buttons is easy. Just pass a promise to the directive:

<button (click)="someAction()" 
   [promiseBtn]="promiseSetBySomeAction">Click me to spin!</button>

export class SomeComponent {
    // some example async action, but this works with any promise
    someAction(){
      this.promiseSetBySomeAction = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        setTimeout(resolve, 2000);
      });
    }
}

styling the button

To give you maximum flexibility there are no base styles coming with the directive, but it is easy to fix that! There are lots of free css-spinners out there. Just find one of your liking and add the css to your global stylesheet.

There are selectors you can use to style. There is the .is-loading class on the button, which is set, when the promise is pending and there is the <span class="btn-spinner"></span> element inside the button.

configuration

Configuration is done via the forRoot method of the promise button module:

import {Angular2PromiseButtonModule} from 'angular2-promise-buttons/dist';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    Angular2PromiseButtonModule
      .forRoot(
        // your custom config goes here
        spinnerTpl: '<span class="btn-spinner"></span>',
        // disable buttons when promise is pending
        disableBtn: true,
        // the class used to indicate a pending promise
        btnLoadingClass: 'is-loading',
        // only disable and show is-loading class for clicked button, 
        // even when they share the same promise
        handleCurrentBtnOnly: false,
      ),
  ],
})
export class MainAppModule {
}
