import { Skeleton } from '@material-ui/lab';

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description

component	elementType	'div'	The component used for the root node. Either a string to use a DOM element or a component.
disableAnimate	bool	false	If true the animation effect is disabled.
height	any		Height of the skeleton. Useful when you don't want to adapt the skeleton to a text element but for instance a card.
variant	'text' | 'rect' | 'circle'	'text'	The type of content that will be rendered.
width	any		Width of the skeleton. Useful when the skeleton is inside an inline element with no width of its own.

Any other props supplied will be provided to the root element (native element).

CSS

• Style sheet name: MuiSkeleton.
• Style sheet details:

Rule name	Global class	Description
root	MuiSkeleton-root	Styles applied to the root element.
text	MuiSkeleton-text	Styles applied to the root element if variant="text".

You can override the style of the component thanks to one of these customization points:

• With a rule name of the classes object prop.
• With a global class name.
• With a theme and an overrides property.

If that's not sufficient, you can check the implementation of the component for more detail.

Notes

The component is fully StrictMode compatible.
