Skeleton

Provide a placeholder while you wait for content to load, or to visualise content that doesn't exist yet.

When To Use#

  • When a resource needs long time to load.

  • When the component contains lots of information, such as List or Card.

  • Only works when loading data for the first time.

  • Could be replaced by Spin in any situation, but can provide a better user experience.
