Shimmer effect in Angular Skeleton component

27 Apr 20244 minutes to read

You can use the shimmerEffect property to change animation effect in the skeleton control. Skeleton supports Wave, Pulse and Fade effects and by default, the shimmerEffect is set to Wave effect.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `<ejs-skeleton shape= 'Circle' width= "60px" shimmerEffect= 'Pulse'></ejs-skeleton>`
})

export class AppComponent { }

Below example demonstrates a list with pulse effect skeleton.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { SkeletonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications'




import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         
        SkeletonModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `<div>
        <ul id="skeleton-list" class="e-card">
            <li>
                <div class='listProfile'>
                    <ejs-skeleton shape="Circle" width="40px" shimmerEffect='Pulse'></ejs-skeleton>
                </div>
                <div>
                    <ejs-skeleton width="60%" height='15px' shimmerEffect='Pulse'></ejs-skeleton><br>
                    <ejs-skeleton width="40%" height='15px' shimmerEffect='Pulse'></ejs-skeleton>
                </div>
            </li>
            <li>
                <div class='listProfile'>
                    <ejs-skeleton shape="Circle" width="40px" shimmerEffect='Pulse'></ejs-skeleton>
                </div>
                <div>
                    <ejs-skeleton width="60%" height='15px' shimmerEffect='Pulse'></ejs-skeleton><br>
                    <ejs-skeleton width="40%" height='15px' shimmerEffect='Pulse'></ejs-skeleton>
