Shimmer effect in EJ2 JavaScript Skeleton control

29 Aug 20235 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.

// Initialize Skeleton control with pulse effect
var pulse = ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    shape: 'Circle',
    width: "60px",
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

// Render initialized Skeleton.
pulse.appendTo('#pulseSkeleton');

Below example demonstrates a list with pulse effect skeleton.

ej.base.enableRipple(true);

// Initialize Skeleton control
var listProfile = new ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    shape: 'Circle',
    width: '40px',
    height: '40px',
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

// Render initialized Skeleton.
listProfile.appendTo('#listProfile');

var listProfile1 = new ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    shape: 'Circle',
    width: '40px',
    height: '40px',
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

listProfile1.appendTo('#listProfile1');

var listCtn = new ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    width: '60%',
    height: '15px',
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

listCtn.appendTo('#listCtn');

var listCtn1 = new ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    width: '60%',
    height: '15px',
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

listCtn1.appendTo('#listCtn1');

var distCtn = new ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    width: '40%',
    height: '15px',
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

distCtn.appendTo('#distCtn');

var distCtn1 = new ej.notifications.Skeleton({
    width: '40%',
    height: '15px',
    shimmerEffect: 'Pulse'
});

distCtn1.appendTo('#distCtn1');
