Component

Skeleton

A layout-matching loading primitive with a subtle shimmer.

Preview

Installation

Install the package, then import the component and shared stylesheet in your app.

Package install

Install the package when you want components imported from axie-ui.

install

pnpm add axie-ui

Import

code

import "axie-ui/styles.css";import { Skeleton } from "axie-ui";

Registry install

Use the direct URL when you want shadcn to copy editable source into your app. This works without the official registry and does not install axie-ui.

registry

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://axie.alexi.life/r/skeleton.json

Copied source import

code

import "@/styles/axie.css";import { Skeleton } from "@/components/axie/skeleton";

Prefer @axie/skeleton? Add the Axie namespace once from the Installation page, then use that shorthand.

Usage

code

import { Skeleton } from "axie-ui";export function Example() {  return <Skeleton className="h-12 w-full" />;}

Accessibility

Skeletons should match the approximate shape of the loading content.
Avoid announcing every skeleton element to screen readers.
Replace skeletons with content or an error state once loading finishes.
