##Use this package as a library

Depend on it

Run this command:

With Dart:


    $ dart pub add shimmer_container

With Flutter:


$ flutter pub add shimmer_container

This will add a line like this to your package's pubspec.yaml (and run an implicit dart pub get):


    dependencies:
    shimmer_container: ^0.0.2

Alternatively, your editor might support dart pub get or flutter pub get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more. Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:


import 'package:flutter_shakemywidget/flutter_shakemywidget.dart';

How to use


    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      // This method is rerun every time setState is called, for instance as done
      // by the _incrementCounter method above.
      //
      // The Flutter framework has been optimized to make rerunning build methods
      // fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that needs updating rather
      // than having to individually change instances of widgets.
      return Scaffold(
          ShimmerContainer(
            height: 80,
            width: 350,
            radius: 4,
            highlightColor: Color(0xffF9F9FB),
            baseColor: Color(0xffE6E8EB),
          ));
    }

Complete Example

            //
            // Try running your application with "flutter run". You'll see the
            // application has a blue toolbar. Then, without quitting the app, try
            // changing the primarySwatch below to Colors.green and then invoke
            // "hot reload" (press "r" in the console where you ran "flutter run",
            // or simply save your changes to "hot reload" in a Flutter IDE).
