Input Fields Skeleton for Ark UI

Three stacked label and input placeholders, sized for a form whose fields are still loading.

Three fields and nothing else. Each pair is a short bar for the label and a taller full-width bar for the input.

Use it inside your own form layout while the fields load, matched to the real input height. A single busy field can take a Spinner instead. In React, Ark UI does not read a value.

FAQ

How are the three fields stacked?

flex w-full max-w-md flex-col gap-4. Each field is its own flex flex-col gap-2.

What size is a label bar?

h-4, at w-16, then w-20, then w-24. The three widths stand in for labels of different lengths.

What size is an input bar?

h-10 w-full under each label. Match h-10 to the control you render so the stack does not jump.

Why is the gap inside a field smaller than the gap between fields?

gap-2 pairs a label with its input. gap-4 on the outer column separates the three pairs.

Where does the pulse come from?

Skeleton adds animate-pulse and bg-muted, and sets data-slot="skeleton". The default radius comes from your style. Edit the skeleton file under components/ui to change the pulse.

Should the field bars be hidden?

Set aria-hidden on each Skeleton when nearby text already says the form is loading. Do not use the bars as the only loading message.
