+/* This is a re-usable vue component for rendering a button
+   that will probably be sending off ajax requests and need
+   to show the loading status by setting the `loading` option.
+   This can also be used for initial page load when you don't
+   know the action of the button yet by setting
+   `loading: true, label: undefined`.
+
+  Sample configuration:
+
+  <loading-button
+    :loading="true"
+    :label="Hello"
+    @click="..."
