Question 1

How to change the colors in react-native-easy-content-loader?

Accepted Answer

Use the primaryColor and secondaryColor props with rgba or hex values to customize colors. For example, set primaryColor='#3498db' for a blue tint, and adjust animationDuration to control the transition speed between colors.

Question 2

React native easy content loader vs react-native-skeleton-placeholder?

Accepted Answer

Easy Content Loader offers pre-built styles like Facebook and Instagram, while react-native-skeleton-placeholder might provide more layout flexibility. Easy Content Loader is highly customizable but has simpler animations, so choose based on style needs and animation complexity.

Question 3

Can I use this with Expo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's compatible with Expo as a standard React Native library. Install via npm or yarn, and ensure it works with your React Native version, though no Expo-specific setup is mentioned in the README.

Question 4

How to implement skeleton loading for a list?

Accepted Answer

Use the listSize prop to render multiple loaders, e.g., set listSize={5} for five items. Combine with pRows and pWidth for custom list layouts, such as varying paragraph heights and widths.

Question 5

Does it support dark mode?

Accepted Answer

No built-in dark mode support; you need to manually set primaryColor and secondaryColor props based on your app's theme. For instance, use lighter colors for dark backgrounds to maintain visibility.

Question 6

How to speed up the animation?

Accepted Answer

Adjust the animationDuration prop to a lower number, like 250, for faster animations. The default is 500ms, and this controls the transition time between primary and secondary colors.
