Menu, Image and List

React Loading Skeleton is a library for creating beautiful, animated loading skeletons that automatically adapt to your app's design. This README provides basic usage, principles, and props reference for the library.

Basic Usage

To use React Loading Skeleton in your React project, follow these steps:

1. Install the library using npm or yarn:

   npm install react-loading-skeleton-menu
   

   or

   yarn add react-loading-skeleton-menu
   

2. Import the Skeleton component and use it in your components:

   import Skeleton from 'react-loading-skeleton-menu';
   
   const MyComponent = () => {
     return (
       <div>
         <Skeleton height={100} width={200} />
       </div>
     );
   };
   

Principles

React Loading Skeleton follows these principles:

• Customizable: You can customize the appearance and behavior of the loading skeletons using props.
• Adaptable: Skeletons automatically adjust to fit the size and layout of your app.
• Accessible: The library ensures accessibility best practices are followed, making loading states usable for all users.

Props Reference

• height: The height of the skeleton element.
• width: The width of the skeleton element.
• loading: Boolean flag to indicate whether the skeleton should be displayed as loading or not.

Troubleshooting

Skeleton Width Issue in Flex Containers

If the skeleton width is 0 when the parent container has display: flex, you can fix it by applying flex: 1 to the skeleton container via the containerClassName prop.

<div style={{ display: 'flex' }}>
  <Skeleton containerClassName="flex-1" />
</div>

Container Height Issue

If the height of your container is off by a few pixels, ensure that the line-height of the container is set to 1.

<div style={{ lineHeight: 1 }}>
  <Skeleton height={30} />
</div>

Examples

Here's an example of using React Loading Skeleton in a React component:

import React from 'react';
import Skeleton from 'react-loading-skeleton';

const MyComponent = ({ loading }) => {
  return (
    <div>
      {loading ? (
        <Skeleton height={100} width={200} />
      ) : (
        <div>Your content here</div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;
