Skeleton

A simple pulsing placeholder used to indicate that content is loading. It renders a div with a muted background and a pulse animation, and can be sized and shaped with utility classes to match the content it represents.

import { Skeleton } from "@/components/ui/skeleton"

export default function SkeletonDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="flex items-center gap-4">
      <Skeleton className="size-12 rounded-full" />
      <div className="space-y-2">
        <Skeleton className="h-4 w-48" />
        <Skeleton className="h-4 w-32" />
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
