SkeletonView
An elegant iOS library to show skeleton loading views while content is being fetched.
What is SkeletonView?
SkeletonView is an iOS library that displays skeleton loading views to indicate that content is being loaded. It solves the problem of showing users that something is happening during async processes like API requests, providing a smooth visual placeholder that prepares them for incoming content. The library is fully customizable and works with all UIView subclasses, including UITableView and UICollectionView.
iOS developers building apps with async content loading who want to improve user experience with elegant skeleton screens. It's particularly useful for those working with complex views, collections, or needing fine control over loading animations.
Developers choose SkeletonView for its simplicity, extensive customization options, and seamless integration with UIKit. Unlike basic activity indicators, it provides realistic content placeholders, supports animations and gradients, and includes specialized protocols for collections, making it a comprehensive solution for loading states.
