A React Native library for displaying animated placeholder skeletons before text or media content loads. It provides composable components like Placeholder, PlaceholderLine, and PlaceholderMedia with built-in animations such as Fade, and works with Expo and react-native-web.

Use cases

• show skeleton loaders while content loads in react native
• display placeholder lines before text renders
• add fade animation to loading placeholders in expo app
• render media placeholders before images load
• use skeleton screens with react-native-web
• customize placeholder line widths and animations

When to choose

• you build React Native or Expo apps and need skeleton loading states
• you want composable placeholder components with built-in animations
• you need placeholders that also work on web via react-native-web

When to avoid

• you need a web-only skeleton library for plain React
• the project needs active maintenance, as it is seeking maintainers
• you need complex shimmer effects beyond the provided animations
