Skeleton Component

Skeleton component provides loading placeholders for better user experience during data loading.

When to Use

• Loading states
• Content placeholders
• Improving perceived performance
• Async data loading

Basic Usage

<template>
  <el-skeleton />
</template>

Configurable Rows

<template>
  <el-skeleton :rows="5" animated />
</template>

Animation

<template>
  <el-skeleton animated />
</template>

Customized Template

<template>
  <el-skeleton animated>
    <template #template>
      <el-skeleton-item variant="image" style="width: 240px; height: 240px" />
      <div style="padding: 14px">
        <el-skeleton-item variant="h3" style="width: 50%" />
        <div style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; margin-top: 16px;">
          <el-skeleton-item variant="text" style="width: 30%" />
          <el-skeleton-item variant="text" style="width: 30%" />
        </div>
      </div>
    </template>
  </el-skeleton>
</template>

Loading State

<template>
  <el-skeleton :loading="loading" animated>
    <template #default>
      <div class="content">Real content here</div>
    </template>
  </el-skeleton>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue'

const loading = ref(true)

onMounted(() => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    loading.value = false
  }, 2000)
})
</script>

Avoiding Rendering Bouncing

<template>
  <el-skeleton :loading="loading" :throttle="500" animated>
    <template #default>
      <div>Content</div>
    </template>
  </el-skeleton>
</template>
