For CLI Loader (Click Here)

$ npm install expo-skeleton-loading

OR

$ yarn add expo-skeleton-loading

This package is based on react-natve-reanimated 3 so according to their documentation, you need to initialize that in babel.config.js. To do that stop the metro bundler and then add following line of code to the return object of babel.config.js

plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin']

After adding the line of code, start the bundler or project with --clear tag like,

npx expo start --clear

This will clear the bundler cache and you are ready to go.

All you need is to just import the skeleton loading component, and in between the closing and ending tags, you can design the UI of your skeleton loading screen as shown in the code snippet below:

import SkeletonLoading from 'expo-skeleton-loading'

const App = () => {

  return(
    <SkeletonLoading background={"#adadad"} highlight={"#ffffff"}>
        <View style={{ flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between' }}>
          <View style={{ width: 100, height: 100, backgroundColor: "#adadad", borderRadius: 10 }} />

          <View style={{ flex:1, marginLeft: 10 }}>
              <View style={{ backgroundColor: "#adadad", width: "50%", height: 10, marginBottom: 3, borderRadius: 5 }} />
              <View style={{ backgroundColor: "#adadad", width: '20%', height: 8, borderRadius: 5 }} />
              <View style={{ backgroundColor: "#adadad", width: '15%', height: 8, borderRadius: 5, marginTop: 3 }} />
          </View>
        </View>
    </SkeletonLoading>
  )

};
