Or to wrap another component to take the same height and width.

  <div>won't be visible</div>
</Skeleton>

Useful when fetching remote data.

import { Box } from "@chakra-ui/react"

function Card() {
  const { data, loading, error } = useRemoteData()
  if (error) return <Box children="error" />
  return (
    <Box>
      <Skeleton isLoaded={!loading}>
        <Heading>{data.title}</Heading>
      </Skeleton>
    </Box>
  )
}

<Box padding="6" boxShadow="lg" bg="white">
  <SkeletonCircle size="10" />
  <SkeletonText mt="4" noOfLines={4} spacing="4" />

Skeleton color#

You can change the animation color with startColor and endColor.

<Skeleton startColor="pink.500" endColor="orange.500" height="20px" />
