## Use it

```html

<input class="sds-input-shimmer" placeholder="Type here" />

## How it works

Plays as soon as the class is applied, looping continuously. It animates a gradient sweep. Timing is fixed for this effect, but you can still override animation-duration/timing-function on the element.
