          noRadius: true,
          bgColors: {
            light: 'rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.2)',
            medium: 'rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.3)',
          },
        }}
      >
        <YourComponent />
      </Pulsable>

      {/* custom background with no padding in each skeleton items */}
      <Pulsable
        isLoading={isLoading}
        config={{
          noPadding: true,
          bgColors: {
            light: 'tomato',
            medium: 'orange',
          },
        }}
      >
        <YourComponent />
      </Pulsable>
    </>
  );
};

what you have to do in your component?

const YourComponent = () => {
  return (
    <form>
      <label htmlFor="name" className="pulsable">
        Name:
      </label>
      <div className="pulsable">
        <input type="text" id="name" />
      </div>

      <label htmlFor="email" className="pulsable">
        Email:
      </label>
      <div className="pulsable">
        <input type="email" id="email" />
      </div>

      <button className="pulsable" type="submit">
        Submit
      </button>
    </form>
  );
};

Usage Guide

The component takes following props:

• isLoading: a boolean that indicates whether the component should be pulsing or not.

• config: an object that contains the configuration for the pulsing effect. It has following properties:

  • bgColors: an object that contains the background colors for the pulsing effect. It has two properties:
    • light: the light color of the background.
    • medium: the medium color of the background.
  • noRadius: a boolean that indicates whether the pulsing effect should have rounded corners or not. By default it has rounded corners.
  • noPadding: a boolean that indicates whether the pulsing effect should have padding in each skeleton items or not. By default it has padding.
  • animation: you can pass animation type as a string. default is wave and other options are wave-reverse, pulse, `none

• className: as Pulsable component is a wrapper component, you can pass className or alomost all attributes of div element.[means you can treat it as a div, and use accordingly]

check example for more.

Conditions:

• You must wrap the component you want to add the pulsing effect to with the Pulsable component.

• You must provide isLoading state to the Pulsable component.

• You can use the className="pulsable" to add the pulsing effect to any element.

• if your component is a self closing tag like <img /> you should have to wrap it with div and add pulsable class to that.

• if you want to hide some components while loading add class name pulsable-hidden

• if you want to add image icon in skeleton add class name pulsable-img

• for the paragraph use classname pulsable-para

• while applying base config to all elements, you may need some exceptions. for that you can use pulsable-no-radius, pulsable-no-padding, pulsable-radius and pulsable-padding. by using these classes you can override some specific elements.

• As Shown in example, for better performance you can use flex and align-items: flex-start in parentNode to avoid the pulsing effect from stretching the component. you can also add these styles conditionally wihile loading, if it's affecting your design.
