react-native-gradient-shimmer v2.0.1

React-Native Gradient Shimmer

⚛ A pure JavaScript, performant, typed shimmer component for Android, iOS and Web.

It uses React Native Animated API for animation, and expo-linear-gradient or react-native-linear-gradient for the gradient effect.

Take a look at the Online demo.

Requirements

• React Native >= 0.60.0
• expo-linear-gradient or react-native-linear-gradient

Install

Install dependency package

yarn add react-native-gradient-shimmer

Or

npm i -S react-native-gradient-shimmer

Basic usage

Render the GradientShimmer directly:

import LinearGradient from 'react-native-linear-gradient'; // or 'expo-linear-gradient'
import GradientShimmer from 'react-native-gradient-shimmer';

const App = () => {
   return (
      <SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
         <GradientShimmer
            LinearGradientComponent={LinearGradient}
            backgroundColor="red"
            highlightColor="blue"
            height={120}
            width={120}
            style={{
              borderRadius: 60,
              margin: 8,
            }}
         />
      </SafeAreaView>
   );
}

export default App;

Or create your own GradientShimmer instance with default props:

import LinearGradient from 'react-native-linear-gradient'; // or 'expo-linear-gradient'
import {createGradientShimmer} from 'react-native-gradient-shimmer';

const CustomGradientShimmer = createGradientShimmer({
  backgroundColor: 'red',
  highlightColor: 'blue',
  LinearGradientComponent: LinearGradient,
})

const App = () => {
   return (
      <SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
         <CustomGradientShimmer
            height={120}
            width={120}
            style={{
              borderRadius: 60,
              margin: 8,
            }}
         />
      </SafeAreaView>
   );
}

export default App;

Shimmer layout

For more complex layouts, you can use the ShimmerLayout component.

import LinearGradient from 'react-native-linear-gradient'; // or 'expo-linear-gradient'
import {ShimmerLayout, ShimmerLayoutContainerType} from 'react-native-gradient-shimmer';

const layoutExample: ShimmerLayoutContainerType = {
   content: [
      {
         flexDirection: 'row',
         content: [
            {
               height: 150,
               width: 100,
               marginRight: 16,
            },
            {
               justifyContent: 'space-between',
               content: [
               {
                  height: 40,
                  width: 250,
               },
               {
                  height: 40,
                  width: 250,
               },
               {
                  height: 40,
                  width: 120,
               },
               ],
            },
         ],
      },
      // ....
   ],
};

const App = () => {
   return (
      <SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
         <ShimmerLayout
            LinearGradientComponent={LinearGradient}
            layout={layoutExample}
         />
      </SafeAreaView>
   );
}

export default App;
