The skeleton component can be used as an alternative loading indicator to the spinner by mimicking the content that will be loaded such as text, images, or video
See below our simple Skeleton example that you can use in your Tailwind CSS and React project.
import { Typography } from "@material-tailwind/react";
export function DefaultSkeleton() {
return (
<div className="max-w-full animate-pulse">
