Buttons with built-in loading indicators.

Ladda

A set of buttons which merge loading indicators into themselves to bridge the gap between action and feedback.

Check out the demo page.

Instructions

Make sure the ladda.css and ladda.js files are included on your page.

If you will be using the loading animation for a form that is submitted to the server (always resulting in a page reload) you can use the bind() method:

// Automatically trigger the loading animation on click
Ladda.bind( 'input[type=submit]' );

// Same as the above but automatically stops after two seconds
Ladda.bind( 'input[type=submit]', { timeout: 2000 } );

If you want JavaScript control over your buttons you can use the following approach:

// Create a new instance of ladda for the specified button
var l = Ladda.create( document.querySelector( '.my-button' ) );

// Start loading
l.start();

// Will display a progress bar for 50% of the button width
l.setProgress( 0.5 );

// Stop loading
l.stop();

// Toggle between loading/not loading states
l.toggle();

// Check the current state
l.isLoading();

All loading animations on the page can be stopped by using:

Ladda.stopAll();
