Horizontal Card Layout Skeleton for Ark UI

A horizontal card placeholder with a square image beside a title, two lines of text and two tags.

A square image sits at the start, beside a title, two lines of text, and two tags pushed to the bottom of the card.

Use it for search results or playlists, where a row fits more than a stacked card. If only the image is loading, a Spinner there is enough. In React, Ark UI does not fetch the picture.

FAQ

How is the card split?

flex w-full max-w-lg gap-4 rounded-md border p-4. A size-24 shrink-0 image sits beside a flex-1 column with gap-2.

What is in the text column?

An h-5 w-3/4 title, then h-4 w-full and h-4 w-5/6. The shorter line reads as the end of the description.

Where do the two tags sit?

mt-auto flex items-center gap-2 pushes them to the bottom of the column. The bars are h-6 w-16 and h-6 w-20.

Why is the image shrink-0?

shrink-0 keeps the size-24 block square while the text column is flex-1. The image keeps the style's default radius.

How do I match the real horizontal card?

Keep the image at size-24 and the column at flex-1 with gap-2. Match h-5 to the title and h-6 to the tags you render.

Should this card skeleton be announced?

Set aria-hidden on the bars when a status already says the card is loading. The pulse is decorative.
