Shimmer Effect with SwiftUI

Shimmer Effect is the Digital Bread.
Just like the bread is served in fancy restaurants before the meal, we serve Shimmer Effect before the real data.
A single shimmer row in above animation is result of below gist :
Nice that we use both overlay and mask to achieve perfect shimmer.
mask as it sounds, exposes a limited area covering the rest, and that limited area is our overlay.
We animate both mask and overlay with exact same animation and the result we get is a smooth Shimmer Effect.
By tuning in maskViewGradient and mainViewGradient you can create different variations of Shimmer.
It’s that simple!
Ciao!
