Implementing a Progress Button Spinner for Enhanced Form Submissions

This article provides guidance on implementing a progress button spinner in a form submission context using Syncfusion components. The progress button enhances user experience by visually indicating the submission process.

Implementation Steps

1. Initialize Variables: Create references for the input fields and the progress button.

   let textboxObj, passwordObj, progressBtnObj;
   let isValid = false;
   

2. Define the begin Function: This function is triggered when the progress button is clicked. It checks if the required fields are filled.

   const begin = (args) => {
       isValid = true;
       if (textboxObj.value == null || passwordObj.value === '') {
           isValid = false;
           progressBtnObj.progressComplete();
           alert('Form does not have required information');
       }
   }
   

3. Define the progress Function: This function monitors the progress of the button. It checks the validity of the input after a specified duration.

   const progress = (args) => {
       if (args.currentDuration == 1000) {
           if (textboxObj.value !== null && textboxObj.value !== "Syncfusion") {
               isValid = false;
               progressBtnObj.progressComplete();
               alert('Invalid form submit');
           }
       }
   }
   

4. Define the end Function: This function is called when the progress completes. It checks if the form submission was valid and provides feedback.

   const end = (args) => {
       if (isValid) {
           alert('Form submitted successfully..');
       }
       isValid = false;
   }
   

5. Render the Components: Use the Syncfusion components to create the form layout.

   return (
       <div className='control-pane'>
           <div className='control-section'>
               <div className='progress-button-section'>
                   <div>
                       <TextBoxComponent ref={(text) => { textboxObj = text; }} placeholder="First Name" />
                   </div>
                   <div>
                       <input ref={(text) => { passwordObj = text; }} className="e-input" type="password" placeholder="Password"/>
                   </div>
                   <div>
                       <ProgressButtonComponent 
                           duration={4000} 
                           ref={(img) => { progressBtnObj = img; }} 
                           content="Submit" 
                           begin={begin} 
                           progress={progress} 
                           end={end}
                       />
                   </div>
               </div>
           </div>
       </div>
   );
