Skeleton

Provide a placeholder at the place which need waiting for loading.

When To Use#

  • When resource needs long time to load, like low network speed.

  • The component contains much information. Such as List or Card.

  • Only works when loading data at first time.

  • Could be replaced by Spin in all situation, but provide better user experience then spin if it works.
