ShimmerView is a subclass of UIView
to construct Skelton View + Shimmering Effect type loading indicator. This framework is inspired by Facebook's Shimmer.

Shimmer Effect has four related APIs as blow:
ShimmerView
ShimmerSyncTarget
ShimmerReplicatorView
ShimmerReplicatorViewCell
ShimmerView
is a subclass of UIView
that has CAGradientLayer
as a sublayer and encapsulates the logic for the shimmering effect animation.
let shimmerView = ShimmerView()
view.addSubview(shimmerView)
shimmerView.startAnimating()
The style of ShimmerView
can be customized with ShimmerViewStyle
.
let style = ShimmerViewStyle(
baseColor: UIColor(red: 239/255, green: 239/255, blue: 239/255, alpha: 1.0),
highlightColor: UIColor(red: 247/255, green: 247/255, blue: 247/255, alpha: 1.0),
duration: 1.2,
interval: 0.4,
effectSpan: .points(120),
effectAngle: 0 * CGFloat.pi)
shimmerView.apply(style: style)
ShimmerView
can be used as it is, but the shimmering effect would be effectively displayed when all the subviews’s effect in the screen is synced and animated together.
Not Synced | Synced |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
To make the best effect, create a view or view controller that contains multiple ShimmerViews and specify the container as ShimmerSyncTarget
. ShimmerView will calculate its relative origin against the target and adjust the effect automatically.
ShimmerReplicatorView
will let you create a list type loading screen with a few lines of code.
let replicatorView = ShimmerReplicatorView(
itemSize: .fixedSize(CGSize(width: 80, height: 80)),
interitemSpacing: 16,
lineSpacing: 0,
horizontalEdgeMode: .within,
cellProvider: { () -> ShimmerReplicatorViewCell in
let cell = ShimmerView()
cell.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0
cell.layer.masksToBounds = true
return cell
})
replicatorView.startAnimating()
