Note

The interval property of shimmer_animation was introduced in v0.2.0 but had a bug which caused animation controller to throw a runtime exception as pointed out by @budo76 in #11

This has been patched in v0.2.1 so anyone using v0.2.0 and using interval should Upgrade Immediately

• color : accepts a parameter of type Color and sets the color of the animation overlay. Default value is Colors.white
• enabled : accepts a bool toggles animation. Default value is true
• duration : accepts a Duration that would be the time period of animation. Default value is Duration(seconds: 3)
