Skeleton

A loading placeholder that mimics content layout using animated pulse — pairs naturally with React 19 Suspense

Quick Preview

Installation

// Copy the Skeleton component from
src/components/ui/Skeleton.tsx

Usage

import { Skeleton } from '@/components/ui/Skeleton'

// Use inside a Suspense boundary (React 19)
export default function PostsFeed() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<PostsSkeleton />}>
      <Posts />
    </Suspense>
  )
}

function PostsSkeleton() {
  return (
    <div className="space-y-4">
      {[...Array(3)].map((_, i) => (
        <Skeleton key={i} variant="card" />
      ))}
    </div>
  )
}

Starts from the current visual reference and project constraints.

Build a ui component named Skeleton in React/Next.js.
Goal: recreate the same overall UI and behavior as the Skeleton reference from a component gallery.
What it needs to communicate: A loading placeholder that mimics content layout using animated pulse — pairs naturally with React 19 Suspense.

Project constraints:
- Use Next.js 16.2.6 with the App Router, React 19, TypeScript strict mode, and Tailwind CSS v4.
- Do not create a tailwind.config.js file. Use Tailwind v4 utilities and CSS variables where design tokens are needed.
- If you are implementing this inside the same project, use the Prompt font via next/font/google. If not, use the closest equivalent typeface.
- Return production-ready code with imports, responsive behavior, keyboard accessibility, and polished empty, hover, focus, active, and disabled states where relevant.
- Match the reference closely: color palette, spacing scale, border radius, shadows, icon scale, typography hierarchy, and motion timing.

Component-specific expectations:
- Keep the API concise and reusable.
- Make visual states feel polished and consistent across variants and sizes.
- Avoid unnecessary dependencies unless the behavior truly requires them.
- No explicit color literals were found in the examples. Match the live reference and the project accent color when appropriate.

Props to support:
- variant: "line" | "circle" | "card" | "block" — default "line" — Shape preset for the skeleton
- width: string — CSS width (e.g. "200px", "50%")
- height: string — CSS height (e.g. "100px")
- lines: number — default 1 — Number of lines (for variant="line" only)
- className: string — Additional CSS classes

Reference usage patterns:
- Line Skeleton

```tsx
<Skeleton variant="line" />
```

- Card Skeleton

```tsx
<Skeleton variant="card" />
```

Feature expectations:
- 4 variants: line, circle, card, block
- animate-pulse CSS animation
- Multi-line mode with natural last-line shortening
- Server Component (no state needed)
- aria-hidden for accessibility
- Pairs with React 19 Suspense boundaries

Output requirements:
- Return complete code, not pseudocode.
- Include all necessary imports and helper types.
- Keep the implementation accessible, responsive, and visually finished.
- Match the reference for color, size, shape, typography, spacing, and interaction states as closely as possible.
- If multiple files are needed, organize them cleanly and explain the file structure briefly.

Tweak only product-specific copy or data after the first generation pass.
