Is there an alternative to this built into the framework?

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

I just stumbled upon https://github.com/DarrylD/ionic-ripple and wonder if ionic 2 has something built in already?

I know about tappable and ion-item, although those two doesn’t create the ripple effect, only a tap effect.

<button ion-item (click)="function()">text</button>
