@wojtekmaj/react-async-button

A button that handles Promises for your React app.

tl;dr

• Install by executing npm install @wojtekmaj/react-async-button or yarn add @wojtekmaj/react-async-button.
• Use by adding import AsyncButton from '@wojtekmaj/react-async-button' and passing pendingConfig, successConfig.

Getting started

Compatibility

Your project needs to use React 16.8 or later.

React-Async-Button is also compatible with React Native.

Installation

Add React-Async-Button to your project by executing npm install @wojtekmaj/react-async-button or yarn add @wojtekmaj/react-async-button.

Usage

Here's an example of basic usage:

import AsyncButton from '@wojtekmaj/react-async-button';

const pendingConfig = {
  children: 'Loading…',
  disabled: true,
};

const successConfig = {
  children: 'Done',
};

const errorConfig = {
  children: 'Try again',
};

function MyComponent() {
  async function onClick(event) {
    // Do some async stuff
  }

  return (
    <AsyncButton
      onClick={onClick}
      pendingConfig={pendingConfig}
      successConfig={successConfig}
      errorConfig={errorConfig}
    >
      Do async stuff
    </AsyncButton>
  );
}

Usage with React Native

AsyncButton renders <button> by default, but by passing as prop you can render any component you want. Here's the same example, but using <TouchableOpacity> instead of <button>:

import { TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import AsyncButton from '@wojtekmaj/react-async-button';

const pendingConfig = {
  children: 'Loading…',
  disabled: true,
};

const successConfig = {
  children: 'Done',
};

const errorConfig = {
  children: 'Try again',
};

function MyComponent() {
  async function onClick(event) {
    // Do some async stuff
  }

  return (
    <AsyncButton
      as={TouchableOpacity}
      onClick={onClick}
      pendingConfig={pendingConfig}
      successConfig={successConfig}
      errorConfig={errorConfig}
    >
      Do async stuff
    </AsyncButton>
  );
}

User guide

AsyncButton

Renders a button.

Props

| Prop name | Description | Default value | Example values | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | as | Component to render button with. | "button" | String: "custom-button"React component: MyButton | | errorConfig | Props to override default props with when onClick async function throws. | {} | { children: 'Try again' } | | onClick | A function, a function returning a Promise, or an async function to be called when the button is clicked. | n/a | | | pendingConfig | Props to override default props when button has been clicked but onClick function did not yet resolve. | {} | { children: 'Loading…' } | | resetTimeout | Time in milliseconds after which AsyncButton should stop using errorConfig / successConfig overrides. | 2000 | 5000 | | successConfig | Props to override default props with when onClick async function resolves. | {} | { children: 'Done' } |

…and everything else a normal <button> would accept!

Accessibility

For accessibility purposes, we recommend setting aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" props so that button label changes are announced to the user using assitive technologies.
