There are two ways to use it:

1. Presets, see the examples:

const MyLoader = () => <ContentLoader> <!-- Your custom shapes! --> </ContentLoader>
const MyFacebookLoader = () => <ContentLoaderFacebook />

2. Custom mode, see the online tool

const MyLoader = () => (
  <ContentLoader viewBox="0 0 380 70">
    {/* Only SVG shapes */}    
    <rect x="0" y="0" rx="5" ry="5" width="70" height="70" />
    <rect x="80" y="17" rx="4" ry="4" width="300" height="13" />
    <rect x="80" y="40" rx="3" ry="3" width="250" height="10" />
  </ContentLoader>
)

(React version Demo:) Still not clear? Take a look at this working example at codesandbox.io Or try the components editable demo hands-on and install it from bit.dev

Defaults to 1.2
Animation speed in seconds.
interval?: number
Defaults to 0.25
Interval of time between runs of the animation,
as a fraction of the animation speed.
viewBox?: string
Defaults to undefined
Use viewBox props to set a custom viewBox value,
for more information about how to use it,
read the article How to Scale SVG.
gradientRatio?: number
Defaults to 1.2

gradientDirection?: string
Defaults to left-right
Direction in which the gradient is animated. Useful to implement top-down animations

Troubleshooting

Responsive - Mobile version

In order to avoid unexpected behavior, the package doesn't have opinioned settings. So if it needs to be responsive, have in mind that the output of the package is a regular SVG, so it just needs the same attributes to become a regular SVG responsive, which means:

import { Code } from 'react-content-loader'

const MyCodeLoader = () => (
  <Code
    width={100}
    height={100}
    viewBox="0 0 100 100"
    style={{ width: '100%' }}
  />
)

Alpha is not working: Safari / iOS

When using rgba as a backgroundColor or foregroundColor value, Safari does not respect the alpha channel, meaning that the color will be opaque. To prevent this, instead of using a rgba value for backgroundColor/foregroundColor, use the rgb equivalent and move the alpha channel value to the backgroundOpacity/foregroundOpacity props.

{/* Opaque color in Safari and iOS */}
<ContentLoader
  backgroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.06)"
  foregroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.12)">


{/_ Semi-transparent color in Safari and iOS _/}
<ContentLoader
    backgroundColor="rgb(0,0,0)"
    foregroundColor="rgb(0,0,0)"
    backgroundOpacity={0.06}
    foregroundOpacity={0.12}>

Black box in Safari / iOS (again)

Using the base tag on a page that contains SVG elements fails to render and it looks like a black box. Just remove the base-href tag from the <head /> and the issue has been solved.

Browser supports SVG-Animate

Old browsers don't support animation in SVG (compatibility list), and if your project must support IE, for examples, here's a couple of ways to make sure that browser supports SVG Animate:

  • window.SVGAnimateElement
  • document.implementation.hasFeature("http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/feature#SVG-Animation", "1.1")
  • Or even use https://modernizr.com/

Development

Fork the repo and then clone it

$ git clone git@github.com:YourUsername/qwik-content-loader.git && cd qwik-content-loader

$ pnpm i: Install the dependencies;

$ pnpm run build: Build to production;

$ pnpm run dev: Run the Qwik Dev Server to see your changes;

Commit messages

Commit messages should follow the commit message convention so, changelogs could be generated automatically by that. Commit messages are validated automatically upon commit. If you aren't familiar with the commit message convention, you can use yarn commit (or pnpm run commit) instead of git commit, which provides an interactive CLI for generating proper commit messages.
