SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Patterns for skeleton loaders, shimmer effects, and loading states that match a design system aesthetic, providing ready-to-use components and guidelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skeleton Base: A reusable Skeleton component with optional shimmer for lightweight placeholder UI.
  • Patterned layouts: CardSkeleton, TableRowSkeleton, MetricSkeleton for common content structures.
  • Progressive & streaming loading: ProgressiveLoad, StreamingIndicator, and LoadingProgress for dynamic data loading scenarios.
  • Design system alignment: Styles and utilities to ensure skeletons match design tokens and surfaces.
  • Use Case: Implement a dashboard with cards that progressively load content while placeholders maintain layout consistency.

Quick Start

Install the Loading States Skill and begin by rendering Skeleton components to create placeholder UI while content loads.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement skeleton loading states in React?

To implement skeleton loading states in React, use reusable placeholder components with optional shimmer animations. This provides lightweight placeholder UI while data fetches, ensuring smooth transitions and layout consistency for your content.

What is the best way to create shimmer animations for design system placeholders?

The best way to create shimmer animations is by applying configurable props to a reusable Skeleton component. This approach aligns placeholders with your design tokens and surfaces, maintaining visual consistency across the UI.

How do I build progressive loading patterns for a data dashboard?

Build progressive loading patterns by using ProgressiveLoad and StreamingIndicator components for dynamic data scenarios. These patterns allow dashboard cards to progressively load content while placeholders maintain layout consistency.

Can I use these loading state patterns with TypeScript?

Yes, these loading state patterns satisfy React and TypeScript component patterns. They provide configurable props and accessible markup, ensuring type-safe integration into your design-system aligned interfaces.

When should I use skeleton loaders instead of standard spinners?

Use skeleton loaders for content lists, dashboards, and data-driven interfaces instead of standard spinners. Skeletons provide structured placeholder UI like TableRowSkeleton and MetricSkeleton, preventing layout shift during data fetch.

Does this approach provide loading patterns for common UI structures like cards and tables?

Yes, this approach provides patterned layouts like CardSkeleton, TableRowSkeleton, and MetricSkeleton. These ready-to-use components cover common content structures, ensuring placeholders match your design system aesthetic.
