## What it is
A Vue component library that renders SVG-based skeleton placeholder loaders, similar to Facebook's card loading animations. It offers built-in presets and fully customizable loaders with configurable colors, speed, and shapes.

## Use cases
- show skeleton placeholders while content loads in a Vue app
- create Facebook-style card loading animations
- add custom SVG skeleton screens to a Vue 3 project
- replace spinners with content-shaped loading placeholders
- build a custom skeleton loader with an online tool

## When to choose
- you use Vue 3 (or Vue 2 with the 0.2.x version) and want lightweight, pure-SVG skeleton loaders
- you need tree-shakable, functional components with no canvas or JS animation overhead
- you want ready-made presets like Facebook, Instagram, or list loaders plus full customization

## When to avoid
- your project uses React - use react-content-loader instead
- you need animated loaders beyond simple skeleton placeholders, like spinners or progress bars
- you need a library with active maintenance guarantees - the repo has no explicit license file and infrequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser
- tags: vue, svg, skeleton-loading, placeholder, loading-state, vue3, nodejs, web-server
