How To Use

import 'package:skeleton_text/skeleton_text.dart';

To achieve the above example animation use the following code :

 ListView.builder(  
    scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,  
    physics: BouncingScrollPhysics(),  
    itemCount: 10,  
    itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {  
        return Padding(  
          padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),  
          child: Container(  
              decoration: BoxDecoration(  
                  borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(10.0)),  
                  color: Colors.white70),  
              child: Container(  
                child: Row(  
                    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,

                              ),  
                            ),  
                            Padding(

                            ],  
                          ),  
                        ],  
                    ),  
                ),  
              ),  
          );  
        })

Explanation

I have created a List builder of 10 Containers. Wrapping any widget by SkeletonAnimation would give a beautiful loading animation.

SkeletonAnimation

  SkeletonAnimation(
      {@required this.child,
      this.shimmerColor = Colors.white54,
      this.gradientColor = const Color.fromARGB(0, 244, 244, 244),
      this.curve = Curves.fastOutSlowIn,
      Key key}
  )

The above example uses default value for shimmerColor and gradientColor.
