Key Properties and Methods

Button Interaction Property

The setDisableAfterInteracted() method allows changing this property. It accepts a boolean value indicating whether the button should be disabled after it is interacted with.

TypeScript

let apiAction = new APIAction("https://example.com/api", "POST");
let buttonElement = new ButtonElement("1", apiAction, "Submit");
buttonElement.setDisableAfterInteracted(false);

Example

Below is an example that showcases the creation and manipulation of an instance of ButtonElement:

TypeScript

// Create an instance of APIAction

let apiAction = new APIAction("https://example.com/api", "POST");

// Create a new instance of ButtonElement

let buttonElement = new ButtonElement("1", apiAction, "Submit");

buttonElement.setDisableAfterInteracted(false);

In this example, a new instance of the ButtonElement is created. The button text, action and interaction property are retrieved, updated, and logged. Then a new ButtonElement instance is made from a JSON object and its button text is retrieved and logged.
