API

The complete surface: one function, a handful of options, one build-time helper.

skelly(element, options?)

Core function. Replaces element's content with a skeleton; returns a release() function that restores it.

options.visual

"shimmer" | "pulse" | "optimistic" | "static" — default "shimmer".

options.rows

For tables and lists: number of placeholder rows to render while data loads. Defaults to the measured count.

options.media

"block" | "dominant-color" | "blurhash" — how image areas render while loading.

snapshot(route, options?)

Build-time helper. Renders a route headlessly and emits its full-page skeleton spec.
