Single Submit Example

Quick Start

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <body>
    <form
      method="post"
      data-ss-type="single-submit-form"
      data-loading-text="Submitting...">
      <!-- Your form fields here -->

      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>

    <!-- Add CDN link -->
    <script
      src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/single-submit.min.js"
      integrity="sha256-Ig68U756uj/lhygwo6cvQoKZgrpunyLN1+Zpl+pWyRk="
      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

    <!-- Initialize on load -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
      window.addEventListener("load", () => {
        SingleSubmit.init();
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Installation

Using CDN link:

<script
  src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/single-submit.min.js"
  integrity="sha256-Ig68U756uj/lhygwo6cvQoKZgrpunyLN1+Zpl+pWyRk="
  crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Using npm package:

npm i single-submit

Once the package is installed, you can import the library using import or require approach:

// Using default default export.
import SingleSubmit, { SingleSubmitOptions } from "single-submit";

// or If you use require for importing, only default export is available.
const SingleSubmit = require("single-submit").default;
const { SingleSubmitOptions } = require("single-submit");

Configuring forms

Add the data-ss-type="single-submit-form" attribute to your form and optionally include the data-ss-loading-text attribute to specify the text displayed during processing. Here's an example:

<form
  method="post"
  data-ss-type="single-submit-form"
  data-ss-loading-text="Submitting...">
  <!-- Your form fields here -->
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Customize the process indicator

Out of the box, there is one indicator available: spinner-border-single-submit. You can switch to any other indicator by specifying the data-ss-indicator attribute to the form or button or passing the indicator class in init options.

The following example using assuming you are using Bootstrap's spinner-grow class. However you can specify you custom class to customize the process indicator animation.

Using data-ss-indicator:

<!-- Assuming you are using Bootstrap -->
<form
  data-ss-type="single-submit-form"
  data-ss-indicator="spinner-grow spinner-grow-sm">
  <!-- Your form fields here -->
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Using SingleSubmit.init() options:

SingleSubmit.init({
  processIndicatorClass: "spinner-grow spinner-grow-sm", // assuming you are using Bootstrap
});

To further customizing the implementation refer to configuration options.
