Measured entry

hextaui-skeleton

skeletongradient-glowmotion on file

A React loading placeholder distributed as a shadcn registry source file. It renders an aria-hidden div with Tailwind pulse, rounding, and accent-color classes, accepts ordinary div props, and uses a local cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict

The component is lean, provider-free, and straightforward to restyle, with reduced-motion handling included. It builds, mounts, and renders across all tested widths; only the supplied fixed-width demo overflows at the narrow viewport, so make the composition responsive before adopting it unchanged.

Use it if

  • You want a small composable placeholder that can be shaped with Tailwind classes.
  • Your loading state is decorative and should stay out of the accessibility tree.
  • Your design system already defines the accent color and reduced-motion behavior used by the component.

Skip it if

  • You need a skeleton that announces loading progress or status to assistive technology.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind utilities or design tokens and you do not want to recreate its styling.
  • You require the supplied demo composition to fit a 375-pixel viewport without adjusting its fixed-width wrapper.
  • You need a content-aware skeleton that derives its shape automatically.

In a non-shadcn project, add React and Tailwind CSS, provide the accent color and pulse utilities, create or replace the local cn helper with clsx and tailwind-merge, and update the path alias if your project does not support it.
