skeleton_shimmer 0.2.0

Shimmer loading effect and skeleton loaders for Flutter. API-compatible with the shimmer package, with skeleton placeholder widgets and reduced-motion accessibility.

0.2.0

• Skeleton placeholders no longer reach the semantics tree. A skeleton screen stands in for content that has not arrived; as plain containers the shapes were a run of empty nodes for a screen reader user to walk past, saying nothing about why they were there.
• Add Shimmer.semanticsLabel, which announces the loading state as a live region, so the skeleton is read when it appears rather than passed over in silence. It mirrors CircularProgressIndicator.semanticsLabel, default included: there is none, because the package cannot invent a localized string and should not announce English into every app.

0.1.2

• Docs: tightened the README wording and visuals.

0.1.1

• Expand the package description to name what the package does in the words people search for. No code changes.

0.1.0

Initial release.

• Shimmer and Shimmer.fromColors, API-compatible with the shimmer package: ShimmerDirection (ltr/rtl/ttb/btt), period, loop, enabled.
• Reduced-motion support: the sweep freezes when MediaQuery.disableAnimations is set.
• Skeleton placeholder primitives: SkeletonBox, SkeletonCircle, SkeletonLine.
