Placeholders
Placeholders
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 somewhereColor
By default, the placeholder uses currentColor. This
can be overriden with a custom color or utility class.
Width
You can change the width through grid column classes, width
utilities, or inline styles.
Sizing
The size of .placeholders are based on the typographic style of the
parent element. Customize them with sizing modifiers:
.placeholder-lg, .placeholder-sm, or
.placeholder-xs.
How it works
Create placeholders with the .placeholder class and a grid column
class (e.g., .col-6) to set the width. They can
replace the text inside an element or as be added as a modifier class to an
existing component.
Animation
Animate placehodlers with .placeholder-glow or
.placeholder-wave to better convey the perception of something
being actively loaded.
