What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A React image component that simulates a shimmer or breathing placeholder effect while images load asynchronously, with support for custom fallback components and error handling. It is a zero-dependency, Suspense-like <img> replacement written in TypeScript.

Use cases

  • show a shimmer placeholder while images load in react
  • async image loading component for react
  • replace img tag with skeleton loader in react
  • custom fallback spinner while image loads
  • fade-in images when loaded in react
  • handle image load errors with fallback ui

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, zero-dependency shimmer image loader for React
  • you need Suspense-like image loading with custom fallback components
  • you want built-in fade-in and delay options for image loading

When to avoid

  • you need skeleton loading for non-image content
  • you use a framework other than React
  • you need a full-featured image gallery or lazy-loading library
