## What it is
A Vue 2 plugin providing composable components for rendering animated skeleton placeholders (like Facebook's) while data is loading. It offers heading, text, and image placeholder components with configurable animation, rounding, and centering.

## Use cases
- show skeleton screens while fetching data in a Vue app
- render Facebook-style fake content placeholders
- improve perceived performance with animated loading placeholders
- display placeholder text lines and images during lazy loading
- reduce bounce rate with progressive content rendering

## When to choose
- you're building a Vue 2 app and want skeleton loading states out of the box
- you want simple composable placeholder components with sensible defaults
- you prefer a lightweight plugin over a full UI framework

## When to avoid
- you're using Vue 3, which this plugin doesn't support
- your UI framework already includes skeleton components
- you need highly custom skeleton designs beyond heading/text/image
