Skeleton
Live in Codebase
A skeleton UI is a loading placeholder that mimics the structure of a page or component before content appears. It shows grey or neutral blocks where text, images, or buttons will load, giving users a sense of layout and progress. This improves perceived performance and reduces frustration during data fetching or rendering delays.

Loading placeholder that mimics content structure with animated opacity.
When to use | When not to use |
|---|---|
✅ Use the Skeleton component for dynamic content that loads asynchronously. | ⛔️ Don’t use Skeletons for static content that doesn’t change. |
✅ Provide a visual preview of the page layout while content is loading. | ⛔️ Avoid showing temporary placeholders that update again after the Skeleton disappears. |
✅ Mimic the real layout using multiple Skeleton components for accuracy. | |
✅ Apply |
