MIT-licensed skeleton loading states that measure your components, for React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JavaScript.

About Skullet

Skullet is Lochie Axon's MIT-licensed library for skeleton loading states, posted October 31, 2026. The site says it measures your components and draws their skeletons, so you do not hand-draw placeholders or shift the layout. The homepage install line is npm i skullet.

The repository README also shows pnpm i skullet. Version 0.0.3, from the site footer and the package, covers React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JavaScript. Import Skeleton from skullet/react and pass data plus a sample.

While data is null, the component renders the sample unseen and that shape is traced. The docs also show a loading prop for plain children, and a static Skeleton when a chart or canvas will not measure well. Docs are at skullet.lochie.me.
