How to show preloader inside button instead text Angular JS? - angularjs

Question

I use Angular JS library ngActivityIndicator.
I tried to show preloader inside element div instead text when button is pushed:
<div ng-activity-indicator="CircledDark">
<div ng-click="Add();" class="btn shareBtn">
<div ng-view></div>
<span>Text</span>
</div>
</div>
I posted <div ng-view></div> inside and have added directive ng-activity-indicator="CircledDark" to parent element.
When I click button, I call function that display preloader:
$activityIndicator.startAnimating();
But preloader is created outside of button:
<div ng-show="AILoading" class="ai-circled ai-indicator ai-dark-spin"></div>
This is official documantation, from here I have taken example:

Answer 1

I think the only solution is to separate your ng-view and button, at least they do something similar in their sample page. So, in your markup you could do something like this:
<div ng-click="add()" class="btn btn-default" ng-activity-indicator="CircledDark">
<span ng-show="!AILoading">Add</span>
</div>
<div ng-view ng-show="!AILoading">{{ delayedText }}</div>
And in your controller:
$scope.delayedText = "";
$scope.add = function() {
$activityIndicator.startAnimating();
$timeout(function() {
$scope.delayedText = "Here we are!";
$activityIndicator.stopAnimating();
}, 3000);
};
Here is full Demo, you can play with CSS a little so the size of the button won't change when text is replaced by icon.
