Install

npm i @ltns/use-skeleton
# or
yarn add @ltns/use-skeleton

Usage

import useSkeleton from '@ltns/use-skeleton';

const [ref, setAnimate, animate] = useSkeleton('& > *');

return (
	<div ref={ref}>
		{animate ? 'Loading...' : null}
		<div>Set the width of the element.</div>
		<span style={{ display: 'inline-flex' }}>Or use mocking text to expand the width of the element.</span>
	</div>
);

Important

CSS Modules should be enabled.

The skeleton inline element's display type should not be inline(the default for inline elements.), set it to inline-flex or inline-block.

Use the CSS Variables feature for custom styling: --ltns-skeleton-bg-color, --ltns-skeleton-sk-color, --ltns-skeleton-anim-str.
