Skeleton
Shimmering placeholders for content that is still loading: blocks, text lines and circles.
Example
<div class="flex items-start gap-4" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="skeleton skeleton-circle"></div>
<div class="flex-1 space-y-3">
<div class="skeleton h-4 w-1/3"></div>
<div class="skeleton skeleton-text"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="skeleton skeleton-pulse h-24 mt-4"></div>Classes
4 classes. Click a name to copy it. Utilities on the same element always win over component defaults, so any of them can be adjusted with plain utility classes.
| Class | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Base class of the skeleton. On a <div> in the example. Sets block display, height, corner radius, background and animation, and --skeleton-shine.CSS |
|
| Modifier | Modifier, combined with the skeleton class. On a <div> in the example. Sets height and corner radius, and --lines.CSS |

| Modifier | Modifier, combined with the skeleton class. On a <div> in the example. Sets background and animation.CSS |
Usage
Components ship inside the same stylesheet as the utilities. There is nothing else to install and no script to load: link Monsoon and write the markup.

<!-- Skeleton: start from the base class, then add modifiers -->
<div class="flex items-start gap-4" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="skeleton skeleton-circle"></div>
<div class="flex-1 space-y-3">
<div class="skeleton h-4 w-1/3"></div>
<div class="skeleton skeleton-text"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="skeleton skeleton-pulse h-24 mt-4"></div>Theme it with --seed on any ancestor, for example style="--seed: #0d9488", and force a scheme with class="dark" or class="light" on a wrapper.
Accessibility
- Animations stop under
prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. Mark busy regions witharia-busy="true"and give spinners an accessible name. - Every interactive part shows a visible focus ring with
:focus-visible, and tone colors pair with-foregroundtokens that keep text at 4.5:1 or better in light and dark mode.
