A lightweight Flutter package that paints an animated shimmer highlight over placeholder UI widgets. It is commonly used to build skeleton loading screens and sliding-highlight effects.
Use cases
- show skeleton screens while data loads in a flutter app
- add shimmer loading placeholder for list items
- create a sliding highlight effect on a button
- animate loading placeholders with custom gradients
- support shimmer placeholders in dark theme
When to choose
- you need skeleton loading placeholders in a Flutter app
- you want a lightweight, configurable shimmer animation with direction, speed, and loop control
- you need custom gradient support including theme-aware gradients
When to avoid
- your project is not built with Flutter
- you need full loading-state management rather than just a visual effect
- you target Flutter versions older than 3.44 without the compatibility bridge
