vue-content-placeholders is a Vue plugin for rendering animated skeleton placeholders while real data is loading. It helps developers improve perceived performance by showing fake progressive content instead of leaving blank spaces on the screen. The components are composable, so developers can build placeholder layouts that resemble cards, lists, headings, images, and text blocks. The project was designed for Vue 2 applications and follows the familiar placeholder style popularized by social media interfaces. It is useful for apps that fetch data asynchronously and need smoother loading states. Its main value is making loading screens feel more polished, predictable, and user-friendly with very little implementation overhead.
