unicorn-ng-reflex

A module to relief pain with async forms, buttons, etc.

Install

  npm install unicorn-ng-reflex --save

or

  bower install unicorn-ng-reflex --save

How to use

Forms:

<reflex>
  <form reflex-submit="submitSimpleNumber(number)">
    <input
      reflex-blur="isNumberIsEven(number)"
      type="text"
      ng-model="number"/>
    <button type="submit">
      Submit
    </button>
  </form>
  <reflex-message>
  </reflex-message>
<reflex>

 
$scope.doSomeStuff = function(number){
  return $resource.get('/checknumber', { number }).$promise
}
 
$scope.isNumberIsEven = function(number){
  if(number % 2 === 0){
    return true
  } else {
    return $q.reject({ messsage: 'number isn’t even'})
  }
}

Or just buttons:

<reflex>
  <button reflex-click="checkSomething()">
    Submit
  </button>
  <reflex-message>
  </reflex-message>
<reflex>

 
$scope.checkSomething = function(){
  return $resource.get('/checksomething').$promise
}

Just return promise from handler passed to one of directives: reflex-click, reflex-submit, reflex-blur, reflex-keyup, script will block button until promise is pending and broadcast events: unicornReflexStart when action just happen and unicornReflexDone when promise is resolved or rejected.

Don't forget to wrap your elements in <reflex>
