Question 1

How to use Ladda with React?

Accepted Answer

Integrate Ladda by using refs to target button elements and manage loading state with React hooks; for example, call Ladda.create() in useEffect and control it based on component state. Note that Ladda doesn't provide React-specific bindings, so manual integration is needed.

Question 2

Ladda vs pure CSS spinners: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Ladda offers more animation styles and JavaScript control for progress and state management, but adds JS overhead. Pure CSS spinners are lighter and work without JS, but may lack Ladda's variety and programmatic features.

Question 3

How to change spinner color in Ladda?

Accepted Answer

Use the data-spinner-color attribute in HTML with a hex code or CSS color name, as specified in the README. For dynamic changes, access the spinner via the JavaScript API and update styles programmatically.

Question 4

Can Ladda handle progress bars on buttons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Ladda supports progress indication through the setProgress() method, which visually adjusts the loading animation width based on a percentage, useful for tracking uploads or lengthy processes.

Question 5

How to bind Ladda to dynamically added buttons?

Accepted Answer

After adding buttons to the DOM, manually call Ladda.create() on each new element or use event delegation with the bind() method, ensuring the JavaScript re-initializes for fresh elements.
