In the example below, we take a typical card component and recreate it with placeholders applied to create a "loading card". Size and proportions are the same between the two.

Card title

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.

Go somewhere

Create placeholders with the cPlaceholder directive and a grid column cCol directive (e.g., cCol="6") to set the width. They can replace the text inside an element or be added as a modifier to an existing component.

You can change the width through grid column classes, width utilities, or inline styles.

By default, the cPlaceholder uses currentColor. This can be overridden with a custom color or utility class.

The size of cPlaceholders are based on the typographic style of the parent element. Customize them with size prop: lg, sm, or xs.

Animate placeholders with cPlaceholderAnimation="glow" or cPlaceholderAnimation="wave" to better convey the perception of something being actively loaded.
