+# Async Actions In Forms
+
+These directives should be used when building forms with buttons that trigger long running tasks in the background,
+eg. Submit or Delete buttons. For buttons that are not associated with a form see [Standalone Async Actions](?path=/story/component-library-async-actions-standalone-documentation--page).
+
+There are two separately supported use-cases: Submit buttons and standalone form buttons (eg. Delete buttons).
+
+## Usage: Submit buttons
+
+Adding async actions to submit buttons requires the following 3 steps
+
+### 1. Add a handler to your `Component`
+
+A handler is a function that returns a promise or an observable. Functions that return `void` are also supported which is
+useful for aborting an action.
+
+**NOTE:**
+
+- Defining the handlers as arrow-functions assigned to variables is mandatory if the handler needs access to the parent
+  component using the variable `this`.
+- `formGroup.invalid` will always return `true` after the first `await` operation, event if the form is not actually
+  invalid. This is due to the form getting disabled by the `bitSubmit` directive while waiting for the async action to complete.
+
+```ts
+@Component({...})
+class Component {
+  formGroup = this.formBuilder.group({...});
+
+  // submit can also return Observable instead of Promise
+  submit = async () => {
+    if (this.formGroup.invalid) {
+      return;
+    }
+
+    await this.cryptoService.encrypt(/* ... */);
+
+    // `formGroup.invalid` will always return `true` here
+
+    await this.apiService.post(/* ... */);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Add directive to the `form` element
+
+Add the `bitSubmit` directive and supply the handler defined in step 1.
+
+**NOTE:** The `directive` is defined using the input syntax: `[input]="handler"`.
+This is different from how submit handlers are usually defined with the output syntax `(ngSubmit)="handler()"`.
+
+```html
+<form [formGroup]="formGroup" [bitSubmit]="submit">...</form>
+```
+
+### 3. Add directive to the `type="submit"` button
+
+Add both `bitButton` and `bitFormButton` directives to the button.
+
+```html
+<button type="submit" bitButton bitFormButton>{{ "submit" | i18n }}</button>
+```
+
+## Usage: Standalone form buttons
+
+Adding async actions to standalone form buttons requires the following 3 steps.
+
+### 1. Add a handler to your `Component`
+
+A handler is a function that returns a promise or an observable. Functions that return `void` are also supported which is
+useful for aborting an action.
+
+**NOTE:** Defining the handlers as arrow-functions assigned to variables is mandatory if the handler needs access to the parent
+component using the variable `this`.
+
+```ts
+@Component({...})
+class Component {
+  formGroup = this.formBuilder.group({...});
+
+  submit = async () => {
+    // not relevant for this example
+  }
+
+  // action can also return Observable instead of Promise
+  handler = async () => {
+    if (/* perform guard check */) {
+      return;
+    }
+
+    await this.apiService.post(/* ... */);
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Add directive to the `form` element
+
+The `bitSubmit` directive is required beacuse of its coordinating role.
+
+```html
+<form [formGroup]="formGroup" [bitSubmit]="submit">...</form>
+```
+
+### 3. Add directives to the `button` element
+
+Add `bitButton`, `bitFormButton`, `bitAction` directives to the button. Make sure to supply a handler.
+
+```html
+<button type="button" bitFormButton bitButton [bitAction]="handler">Do action</button>
+<button type="button" bitFormButton bitIconButton="bwi-star" [bitAction]="handler"></button>
+```

+# Async Actions
+
+The directives in this module makes it easier for developers to reflect the progress of async actions in the UI when using
+buttons, while also providing robust and standardized error handling.
+
+These buttons can either be standalone (such as Refresh buttons), submit buttons for forms or as standalone buttons
+that are part of a form (such as Delete buttons).
+
+These directives are meant to replace the older `appApiAction` directive, providing the option to use `observables` and reduce
+clutter inside our view `components`.
+
+## When to use?
+
+When building a button that triggers a long running task in the background eg. server API calls.
+
+## Why?
+
+To better visualize that the application is processing their request.
+
+## What does it do?
+
+It disables buttons and show a spinning animation.

+# Standalone Async Actions
+
+These directives should be used when building a standalone button that triggers a long running task in the background,
+eg. Refresh buttons. For non-submit buttons that are associated with forms see [Async Actions In Forms](?path=/story/component-library-async-actions-in-forms-documentation--page).
+
+## Usage
+
+Adding async actions to standalone buttons requires the following 2 steps
+
+### 1. Add a handler to your `Component`
+
+A handler is a function that returns a promise or an observable. Functions that return `void` are also supported which is
+useful for aborting an action.
+
+**NOTE:** Defining the handlers as arrow-functions assigned to variables is mandatory if the handler needs access to the parent
+component using the variable `this`.
+
+#### Example using promises
+
+```ts
+@Component({...})
+class PromiseExampleComponent {
+  handler = async () => {
+    if (/* perform guard check */) {
+      return;
+    }
+
+    await this.apiService.post(/* ... */);
+  };
+}
+```
+
+#### Example using observables
+
+```ts
+@Component({...})
+class Component {
+  handler = () => {
+    if (/* perform guard check */) {
+      return;
+    }
+
+    return this.apiService.post$(/* ... */);
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Add directive to the DOM element
+
+Add the `bitAction` directive and supply the handler defined in step 1.
+
+**NOTE:** The `directive` is defined using the input syntax: `[input]="handler"`.
+This is different from how click handlers are usually defined with the output syntax `(click)="handler()"`.
+
+```html
+<button bitButton [bitAction]="handler">Do action</button>
+
+<button bitIconButton="bwi-trash" [bitAction]="handler"></button>`;
+```
