React Placeholder

A React component to easily replicate your page with nice placeholders while the content is loading. You can use a placeholder from the default set, or pass your own!

import ReactPlaceholder from 'react-placeholder';

React.renderComponent(
  <div>
    <ReactPlaceholder type='media' rows={7} ready={this.state.ready}>
      <MyComponent />
    </ReactPlaceholder>
  </div>,
  document.body);

Props

children:          React.PropTypes.oneOfType([
                      React.PropTypes.node,
                      React.PropTypes.element
                   ]).isRequired,
ready:             React.PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
firstLaunchOnly:   React.PropTypes.bool,
type:              React.PropTypes.oneOf(['text', 'media', 'textRow', 'rect', 'round']),
rows:              React.PropTypes.number,
color:             React.PropTypes.string,
customPlaceholder: React.PropTypes.oneOfType([
                      React.PropTypes.node,
                      React.PropTypes.element
                   ])

Customization

If the built-in set of placeholders is not enough, you can pass you own through the prop "customPlaceholder"

<ReactPlaceholder ready={this.state.ready} customPlaceholder={<MyCustomPlaceholder />}>
  <MyComponent />
</ReactPlaceholder>

You can also import the built-in placeholders directly. This might be useful to use them to create your own customized placeholder:

import {TextBlock, MediaBlock, TextRow, RectShape, RoundShape} from 'react-placeholder/lib/placeholders';

const awesomePlaceholder (
  <div className='my-awesome-placeholder'>
    <RectShape color='blue' style={{width: 30, height: 80}}/>
    <TextBlock rows={7} color='yellow'/>
  </div>
);

<ReactPlaceholder ready={this.state.ready} customPlaceholder={awesomePlaceholder}>
  <MyComponent />
</ReactPlaceholder>

Style

you can style the placeholder by passing className or style or by using the built-in classes:

"text-block", "media-block", "text-row", "rect-shape", "round-shape".
