## React Native Skeleton Content

> If you are not using expo, please head up to [this page](https://github.com/alexZajac/react-native-skeleton-content-nonexpo) instead.

React native Skeleton Content, a simple yet fully customizable component made to achieve loading animation in a Skeleton-style. Works in both iOS and Android.

### New Features

- The package has been rewritten to Hooks and is using the declarative [react-native-reanimated](https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated) package for animations
- It now supports nested layouts for children bones, see an example on [this snack](https://snack.expo.io/@alexandrezajac/skeleton-content-demo)
- It finally supports percentages dimensions for bones, for any type of animation!

### Installation

`npm install react-native-skeleton-content`

### Usage

1. Import react-native-skeleton-content:

```javascript
import SkeletonContent from 'react-native-skeleton-content';
```

2. Once you create the SkeletonContent, you have two options:

- **Child Layout** : The component will figure out the layout of its bones with the dimensions of its direct children.
- **Custom Layout** : You provide a prop `layout` to the component specifying the size of the bones (see the [Examples](#examples) section below). Below is an example with a custom layout. A key prop for each child is optional but highly recommended.

```jsx
export default function Placeholder() {
return (

Your content
Other content

);
}
```

3. Then simply sync the prop `isLoading` to your state to show/hide the SkeletonContent when the assets/data are available to the user.

```jsx
export default function Placeholder () {
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
return (

{...otherProps}
/>
)
}
```

### Props

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| isLoading | bool | **required** | Shows the Skeleton bones when true |
| layout | array of objects | [] | A custom layout for the Skeleton bones |
| duration | number | 1200 ms | Duration of one cycle of animation |
| containerStyle | object | flex: 1 | The style applied to the View containing the bones |
| easing | Easing | bezier(0.5, 0, 0.25, 1) | Easing of the bones animation |
| animationType | string | "shiver" | The animation to be used for animating the bones (see demos below) |
| animationDirection | string | "horizontalRight" | Used only for shiver animation, describes the direction and end-point (ex: horizontalRight goes on the x-axis from left to right) |
| boneColor | string | "#E1E9EE" | Color of the bones |
| highlightColor | string | "#F2F8FC" | Color of the highlight of the bones |

**Note**: The Easing type function is the one provided by [react-native-reanimated](https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated), so if you want to change the default you will have to install it as a dependency.

### Examples

See the playground section to experiment :
**1** - Changing the direction of the animation (animationDirection prop) :



```javascript
export default function Placeholder () {
return (

...
/>
)
}
```

**2** - Changing the colors and switching to "pulse" animation (boneColor, highlightColor and animationType prop) :



```jsx
export default function Placeholder () {
return (

...
/>
)
}
```

**3** - Customizing the layout of the bones (layout prop) :



```jsx
export default function Placeholder () {
return (

...
/>
)
}
```
