Examples

Size

Use the width and height props to manually control the size of the skeleton.

<Skeleton width="48px" height="48px" />

With children

Use the loading prop to control whether the skeleton or its children are displayed. Skeleton preserves the dimensions of children when they are hidden and disables interactive elements.

<Flex gap="4">

	<Skeleton loading={true}>

		<Switch defaultChecked />

	</Skeleton>



	<Skeleton loading={false}>

		<Switch defaultChecked />

	</Skeleton>

</Flex>

With text

When using Skeleton with text, you’d usually wrap the text node itself rather than the parent element. This ensures that the text is replaced with a placeholder of the same size:

<Container size="1">

	<Flex direction="column" gap="2">

		<Text>

			<Skeleton>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</Skeleton>

		</Text>



		<Skeleton>

			<Text>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</Text>

		</Skeleton>

	</Flex>

</Container>

The difference is especially noticeable when wrapping longer paragraphs:

<Container size="1">

	<Flex direction="column" gap="3">

		<Text>

			<Skeleton>

				Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque

				felis tellus, efficitur id convallis a, viverra eget libero. Nam magna

				erat, fringilla sed commodo sed, aliquet nec magna.

			</Skeleton>

		</Text>



		<Skeleton>

			<Text>

				Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque

				felis tellus, efficitur id convallis a, viverra eget libero. Nam magna

				erat, fringilla sed commodo sed, aliquet nec magna.

			</Text>

		</Skeleton>

	</Flex>
