# Button: Controlled loading

> Set `loading` yourself when the work is tracked elsewhere. The button stays focusable and announces that it is busy.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/button/examples/controlled-loading
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/button.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/button-controlled-loading.json
```

This adds `components/examples/button/controlled-loading.tsx` with the Button component and the HextaUI theme tokens.

## Source

```tsx title="components/examples/button/controlled-loading.tsx"
"use client"

import * as React from "react"
import { IconSend } from "@tabler/icons-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonControlledLoading() {
  const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(false)

  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center gap-2">
      <Button loading={loading} onClick={() => setLoading(true)}>
        <IconSend data-icon="inline-start" />
        Send invite
      </Button>
      <Button variant="ghost" onClick={() => setLoading(false)}>
        Stop loading
      </Button>
