## What it is
A Bootstrap 3 integration of the Ladda button concept, adding built-in loading spinners and progress indicators to buttons. It bridges the gap between user actions and visual feedback, primarily for form submissions.

## Use cases
- show a loading spinner on a submit button while a form posts
- add animated loading indicators to Bootstrap 3 buttons
- display progress on a button during an AJAX request
- give users immediate feedback when a form is submitted
- style buttons with expand/slide/zoom loading animations

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Bootstrap 3 project that already uses Ladda
- you want buttons with built-in loading indicators in a Bootstrap 3 app

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the original Ladda library directly instead
- you use Bootstrap 4/5 or a modern frontend framework
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
