A suggestion to have a loading state on the button

[ogustavo-pereira]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When we use the button component and this button has a loading linked to it, we always have to create conditionals on top of the icon and even the disabled one. I think that as an abstraction of the material-ui, the react-admin button component could provide a difference, such as manipulating a loading prop, where I call a boolean and it automatically modifies the icon and changes it to disabled.

Describe the solution you'd like
Today, to get around this point, we created a component that abstracts this loading logic but that could easily be handled within the button component.

Additional context
Today the button component is very simplistic, which is actually positive, however wouldn't it be better to have a loading property?

Thank you for your suggestion.
Let's wait for feedback from the community to see if this is something that other people would want too 🙂

I thin we should rely on MUI for that. Material-ui has a Loading Button, but it's in their lab...

I suggest you ask MUI to move their LoadingButton to stable so we can consider using it. But they seem to be waiting for their v6 for that.
