SVG-Powered component to easily create placeholder loadings (like Facebook's cards loading).
npm i react-content-loader --save
yarn add react-content-loader
npm i react-content-loader react-native-svg --save
yarn add react-content-loader react-native-svg

There are two ways to use it:
1. Presets, see the examples:
import ContentLoader, { Facebook } from 'react-content-loader' const MyLoader = () => <ContentLoader /> const MyFacebookLoader = () => <Facebook />
2. Custom mode, see the online tool
const MyLoader = () => ( <ContentLoader viewBox="0 0 380 70"> {/* Only SVG shapes */} <rect x="0" y="0" rx="5" ry="5" width="70" height="70" /> <rect x="80" y="17" rx="4" ry="4" width="300" height="13" /> <rect x="80" y="40" rx="3" ry="3" width="250" height="10" /> </ContentLoader> )
Still not clear? Take a look at this working example at codesandbox.io Or try the components editable demo hands-on and install it from bit.dev
react-content-loader
can be used with React Native in the same way as web version with the same import:
1. Presets, see the examples:
import ContentLoader, { Facebook } from 'react-content-loader/native' const MyLoader = () => <ContentLoader /> const MyFacebookLoader = () => <Facebook />
2. Custom mode
To create custom loaders there is an important difference: as React Native doesn't have any native module for SVG components, it's necessary to import the shapes from react-native-svg or use the named export Rect and Circle from react-content-loader
import:
import ContentLoader, { Rect, Circle } from 'react-content-loader/native' const MyLoader = () => ( <ContentLoader viewBox="0 0 380 70"> <Circle cx="30" cy="30" r="30" /> <Rect x="80" y="17" rx="4" ry="4" width="300" height="13" /> <Rect x="80" y="40" rx="3" ry="3" width="250" height="10" /> </ContentLoader> )

import { Facebook } from 'react-content-loader' const MyFacebookLoader = () => <Facebook />
import { Instagram } from 'react-content-loader' const MyInstagramLoader = () => <Instagram />
import { Code } from 'react-content-loader' const MyCodeLoader = () => <Code />
import { List } from 'react-content-loader' const MyListLoader = () => <List />
import { BulletList } from 'react-content-loader' const MyBulletListLoader = () => <BulletList />
For the custom mode, use the online tool.
const MyLoader = () => ( <ContentLoader height={140} speed={1} backgroundColor={'#333'} foregroundColor={'#999'} viewBox="0 0 380 70" > {/* Only SVG shapes */} <rect x="0" y="0" rx="5" ry="5" width="70" height="70" /> <rect x="80" y="17" rx="4" ry="4" width="300" height="13" /> <rect x="80" y="40" rx="3" ry="3" width="250" height="10" /> </ContentLoader> )Responsive - Mobile version
In order to avoid unexpected behavior, the package doesn't have opinioned settings. So if it needs to be responsive, have in mind that the output of the package is a regular SVG, so it just needs the same attributes to become a regular SVG responsive, which means:
import { Code } from 'react-content-loader' const MyCodeLoader = () => ( <Code width={100} height={100} viewBox="0 0 100 100" style={{ width: '100%' }} /> )Server-side rendering (SSR) - Match snapshot
As the main component generates random values to match the id of the SVG element with background style, it can encounter unexpected errors and unmatching warning on render, once the random value of id will be generated twice, in case of SSR: server and client; or in case of snapshot test: on the first match and re-running the test.
To fix it, set the prop uniqueKey
, then the id will not be random anymore:
import { Facebook } from 'react-content-loader' const MyFacebookLoader = () => <Facebook uniqueKey="my-random-value" />Alpha is not working: Safari / iOS
When using rgba
as a backgroundColor
or foregroundColor
value, Safari does not respect the alpha channel, meaning that the color will be opaque. To prevent this, instead of using a rgba
value for backgroundColor
/foregroundColor
, use the rgb
equivalent and move the alpha channel value to the backgroundOpacity
/foregroundOpacity
props.
{/* Opaque color in Safari and iOS */} <ContentLoader backgroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.06)" foregroundColor="rgba(0,0,0,0.12)"> {/_ Semi-transparent color in Safari and iOS _/} <ContentLoader backgroundColor="rgb(0,0,0)" foregroundColor="rgb(0,0,0)" backgroundOpacity={0.06} foregroundOpacity={0.12}>Black box in Safari / iOS (again)
Using the base tag on a page that contains SVG elements fails to render and it looks like a black box. Just remove the base-href tag from the <head />
and the issue has been solved.
Old browsers don't support animation in SVG (compatibility list), and if your project must support IE, for examples, here's a couple of ways to make sure that browser supports SVG Animate:
window.SVGAnimateElement
document.implementation.hasFeature("http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/feature#SVG-Animation", "1.1")
Fork the repo and then clone it
$ git clone git@github.com:YourUsername/react-content-loader.git && cd react-content-loader
$ npm i
: Install the dependencies;
$ npm run build
: Build to production;
$ npm run dev
: Run the Storybook to see your changes;
$ npm run test
: Run all tests: type checking, unit tests on web and native;
$ npm run test:watch
: Watch unit tests;
As React Native doesn't support symbolic links (to link the dependency to another folder) and as there is no playground to check your contributions (like storybook), this is recommended strategy to run the project locally:
yarn add react-content-loader react-native-svg
react-content-loader
to the project just cloned, like: import ContentLoader, { Rect, Circle } from './react-content-loader/native'
Commit messages should follow the commit message convention so, changelogs could be generated automatically by that. Commit messages are validated automatically upon commit. If you aren't familiar with the commit message convention, you can use yarn commit (or npm run commit
) instead of git commit, which provides an interactive CLI for generating proper commit messages.
