# react-loading-skeleton

Make beautiful, animated loading skeletons that automatically adapt to your app.

## Basic usage

Install by `npm`/`yarn` with `react-loading-skeleton`.

```javascript
import Skeleton from 'react-loading-skeleton';

// Simple, single-line loading skeleton
// Five-line loading skeleton
```

## Principles

### Adapts to the styles you have defined

The `` component is designed to be used directly in your components,
in place of content while it's still loading.
Unlike other libraries, rather than meticulously crafting a skeleton screen to
match the `font-size`, `line-height` or `margin`s your content takes on,
use a `` component to have it automatically fill the correct dimensions.

For example:

```javascript
class Blogpost extends Component {
render() {
return (


{this.props.title || }


{this.props.body || }

);
}
}
```

...will produce the correctly-sized skeletons for the heading and body sections
without any further configuration of the `` component.

This ensures the loading state remains up-to-date with any changes
to your layout or typography.

### Don't make dedicated skeleton screens

Instead, make components with _built-in_ skeleton states.

In addition to keeping the styling in-sync, here are some other reasons to do this:

1. Components represent all possible states it can be in - loading included.
1. It allows for more flexible loading patterns - in the `Blogpost` example, it's possible to have the `title` load first, and then the `body`, while having both pieces of content show loading skeletons at the right time.

## Theming

Using a `` component, you can easily change the colors of all
skeleton components below it in the React hierarchy:

```javascript
import Skeleton, { SkeletonTheme } from "react-loading-skeleton";




;
```

## Count

`count`: Number, defaults to 1

```javascript

```

Number of loading skeleton lines.

## Duration

```javascript

```

`duration`: Number, defaults to 1.2

Duration is how long it takes do one cycle of the skeleton animation.

## Width

`width`: Number | String | null, defaults to null

```javascript

```

Width of the skeleton. Useful when the skeleton is inside an inline element with
no width of its own.

## Height

`height`: Number | String | null, defaults to null

```javascript

```

Height of the skeleton. Useful when you don't want to adapt the skeleton to a text element but for instance
a card. Also needed for the prop `circle` (see below).

## Wrapper

`wrapper`: ReactNode | null, defaults to null

```javascript
const Box = ({ children }) => (

{children}

);

```

Prop for wrap the skeleton in a custom component.

## Circle

`circle`: Boolean, defaults to false

```javascript

```

Prop for making the skeleton look like a circle, for when you are creating a user card with a profile picture for instance.

## Style

`style`: CSSProperties, defaults to {}

```javascript

```

Prop for adding custom CSS styles to the skeleton.

## ClassName

`className`: String, defaults to ""

```javascript

```

Prop for adding custom CSS classname to the skeleton.
