skeleton_shimmer 0.2.1

skeleton_shimmer: ^0.2.1 copied to clipboard

• Fix Shimmer.fromColors so ShimmerDirection.ttb/.btt actually sweep vertically. The gradient's color axis was hardcoded to top-left -> center-right regardless of direction, so on a wide/short child (most skeleton shapes: list rows, cards, text lines) the highlight barely moved for ttb/btt even though the paint window was sliding correctly. The axis now follows direction: horizontal for ltr/rtl, vertical for ttb/btt.

• Skeleton placeholders no longer reach the semantics tree. A skeleton screen stands in for content that has not arrived; as plain containers the shapes were a run of empty nodes for a screen reader user to walk past, saying nothing about why they were there.
• Add Shimmer.semanticsLabel, which announces the loading state as a live region, so the skeleton is read when it appears rather than passed over in silence. It mirrors CircularProgressIndicator.semanticsLabel, default included: there is none, because the package cannot invent a localized string and should not announce English into every app.

• Docs: tightened the README wording and visuals.

• Expand the package description to name what the package does in the words people search for. No code changes.

Initial release.

• Shimmer and Shimmer.fromColors, API-compatible with the shimmer package: ShimmerDirection (ltr/rtl/ttb/btt), period, loop, enabled.
• Reduced-motion support: the sweep freezes when MediaQuery.disableAnimations is set.
• Skeleton placeholder primitives: SkeletonBox, SkeletonCircle, SkeletonLine.
