React Native Dynamic Skeletons

React Native Dynamic Skeletons is an easy, customizable, and dynamic solution to create beautiful loading experiences in your React Native apps.

This library provides a simple and intuitive way to create dynamic skeletons that mimic the appearance of your app's content.

The skeletons can be easily customized to match your app's design, and the library provides a wide range of options to create dynamic and engaging loading experiences.

Developed in Typescript, this library is fully compatible with both iOS and Android. And it's also compatible with Expo.

This library does not use any third-party dependencies, and it's fully customizable.

You decide how the skeleton should look like. By providing a custom component, you can create skeletons that match your app's design.

You can use react-native-linear-gradient, expo-linear-gradient, react-native-skia or any other library.

import {
  SkeletonContainer,
  GradientProps,
} from 'react-native-dynamic-skeletons';

const Gradient = (props: GradientProps) => <LinearGradient {...props} />;
export default function App() {
  return (
    <SkeletonContainer
      isLoading={true}
      Gradient={Gradient}
    >
      <View
        style={{
          backgroundColor: 'red',

    </SkeletonContainer>
  );
}
