how to make a shimmer effect in react

To create a shimmer effect in React, you can use the Shimmer component from the office-ui-fabric-react package. The Shimmer component is a container that shows a shimmering animation effect while it's child components are being loaded. Here is an example of how to use the Shimmer component to create a shimmer effect:

import { Shimmer } from "office-ui-fabric-react";

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Shimmer>
      <YourComponent />
    </Shimmer>
  );
}

In this example, YourComponent is the component that you want to show the shimmer effect for. The Shimmer component will animate the colors between the baseColor and highlightColor to create the shimmering effect.

You can customize the colors and the direction of the shimmer animation using the styles and shimmerElements props, respectively. For example, to make the shimmer effect use a purple base color and highlight color, and animate from left to right, you can use the following code:

import { Shimmer, ShimmerElementType } from "office-ui-fabric-react";

const shimmerStyles = {
  shimmerWrapper: {
    backgroundColor: "purple",
    height: 50,
  },
  shimmerGradient: {
    backgroundColor: "pink",
  },
};

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Shimmer
      styles={shimmerStyles}
      shimmerElements={[
        { type: ShimmerElementType.line, height: 50, width: "100%" },
      ]}
    >
      <YourComponent />
    </Shimmer>
  );
}
