GlassSkeletonLoader class

A shimmering placeholder block for loading states, in the glass aesthetic.

A translucent glass-tinted panel with a soft highlight band that sweeps across it continuously. Use the named constructors for common shapes, or the default constructor for a custom rectangle:

// A block of placeholder text lines
Column(
  children: [
    GlassSkeletonLoader.text(width: 200),
    const SizedBox(height: 8),
    GlassSkeletonLoader.text(width: 140),
  ],
)

// A placeholder avatar
GlassSkeletonLoader.circle(diameter: 48)

// A custom placeholder card
GlassSkeletonLoader(width: double.infinity, height: 120, borderRadius: 16)

Constructors

GlassSkeletonLoader({Key? key, double? width, double height = 16, double borderRadius = 8, Color? baseColor, Color? highlightColor, Duration duration = const Duration(milliseconds: 1400)})
Creates a rectangular skeleton placeholder.
const
GlassSkeletonLoader.circle({Key? key, required double diameter, Color? baseColor, Color? highlightColor, Duration duration = const Duration(milliseconds: 1400)})
Creates a circular placeholder (e.g. for an avatar).
const
GlassSkeletonLoader.text({Key? key, double? width, double height = 14, Color? baseColor, Color? highlightColor, Duration duration = const Duration(milliseconds: 1400)})
Creates a single placeholder text line — a short, fully-rounded bar.
