A lightweight SwiftUI view modifier that adds a shimmering effect to any SwiftUI View, commonly used to indicate loading states. It supports custom animations, gradients, RTL layouts, and works across iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

Use cases

• show a shimmering loading placeholder while data loads
• create animated skeleton screens in SwiftUI
• add a shimmer effect to text or images during in-progress operations
• build loading indicators that work in light and dark mode
• animate placeholder views with redacted content
• support right-to-left layout shimmer animations

When to choose

• you need a minimal, dependency-free shimmer effect for SwiftUI
• you target multiple Apple platforms including watchOS and visionOS
• you want skeleton loading views combined with .redacted()
• you need RTL and dark mode support out of the box

When to avoid

• your app is not built with SwiftUI
• you need complex loading animations beyond a simple shimmer
• you target non-Apple platforms like Android or web
