Simple shimmering effect for any view in React Native

react-native-shimmer

Simple shimmering effect in React Native. Based on Shimmer/shimmer-android.

Installation

bash
yarn add react-native-shimmer
cd ios && pod install

Installation for React Native

Option: With CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile and run pod update:

pod 'react-native-shimmer', :path => 'node_modules/react-native-shimmer'

Option: With react-native link

$ react-native link react-native-shimmer

Option: Manually

iOS

Add ios/RNShimmer.xcodeproj to Libraries and add libRNShimmer.a to Link Binary With Libraries under Build Phases. More info and screenshots about how to do this is available in the React Native documentation.

Android

  • Edit android/settings.gradle to look like this (without the +):
diff
rootProject.name = 'MyApp'

include ':app'

+ include ':react-native-shimmer'
+ project(':react-native-shimmer').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-shimmer/android')
  • Edit android/app/build.gradle (note: app folder) to look like this:
diff
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
  ...
}

dependencies {
  compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
  compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
  compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
+ compile project(':react-native-shimmer')
}
  • Edit your MainApplication.java (deep in android/app/src/main/java/...) to look like this (note two places to edit):
diff
package com.myapp;

+ import com.oblador.shimmer.RNShimmerPackage;

....

  @Override
  protected List getPackages() {
    return Arrays.asList(
      new MainReactPackage()
+   , new RNShimmerPackage()
    );
  }

}

Usage

NOTE: Shimmer may only have one child.

javascript
import Shimmer from 'react-native-shimmer';

  Loading...
;
