Description

Adds skeleton loading states to Section and Panel: placeholders shaped like the content they replace, with a highlight sweeping across them.

  • Section.Group skeleton turns a card into its loading state, and every Title, Media, Label, Description, and Actions inside it inherits it (skeleton={false} opts a part out). Parts and Panel.Title also take skeleton on their own. A skeleton card is inert and hidden from assistive technology.
  • A skeleton is the real view rendered with placeholder data, so it can't drift from the loaded layout. Text parts draw one fully rounded, cap-height bar on the baseline, as wide as their placeholder text and held to one line. Media draw a filled block, and actions draw nothing and hold the height of a small control. Heights match the loaded content exactly.
  • The shimmer is CSS only: a highlight one bone wide sweeps left to right over 1.6s ease-in-out, and stops under prefers-reduced-motion.
  • UserProfileActiveDevicesSectionView takes skeleton, and UserProfileActiveDevicesSectionSkeleton renders it with placeholder devices, the pattern for other sections. When and how long to show a skeleton is left to the panels' wiring.
  • The avatar's loading placeholder and the backup codes skeleton use the same shimmer, and --cl-ease-pulse is removed.
  • Section.Content drops its 2px row gap, and the security icon media goes to the standard lg size, so items are 40px media beside 40px of text.
  • Swingset section stories stretch to the frame's width, since a Section.Group size container has no intrinsic width. New Loading stories on Section and Active devices, and a skeletons reference in the Mosaic skill.

Previews:

Section loading story, light Section loading story, dark
Active devices loading story, light Active devices loading story, dark

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Mosaic adds shared skeleton styles and wave timing, skeleton modes for Panel.Title and Section parts, and loading placeholders for avatar fallbacks, backup codes, and active devices. The changes also add loading stories and documentation. Swingset applies full-width styling to story content when the story category is Sections.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Suggested reviewers: alexcarpenter

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a84a2

The loading example needs an accessible status, and two narrow skeleton edge cases remain. These warrant follow-up but do not appear to block merging.

let me know if we feel like some of these magic numbers should move into the theme tokens.

I could see duration and dip being something that gets customized, but unsure how much someone might deviate from this implementation for customization 🤔

lets leave this for now. can extract later if needed, but they feel isolated to this component.

I guess a good customization test at some point is can we replicate the horizontal wave/pulse animations we use in the dashboard

was surprised not to see a skeleton component. so each new feature needs to implement very similar components composing the skeletons classes?

💭 would be good to have a skill reference file for skeleton building.

yea kinda depends how rich or simple we want them. could always keep them relatively rich and just have a skeleton component with different variants. ie value-list | media-list | rows | table | profile something like that. I'm open to whatever here, just kinda leaned away from being opinionated on the abstraction to start

💭 would be good to have a skill reference file for skeleton building.

Keep skeleton groups hidden after merging caller props.

When skeleton is enabled and the caller passes aria-hidden={false}, rest overwrites the group's aria-hidden: true. Assistive technology can then expose the skeleton group.

Announce the loading state outside the skeleton group.

Section.Group skeleton hides the placeholders from assistive technology. When the user selects Reload, this story provides no status during the two-second wait. Render a visually hidden role='status' sibling while loading is true. This also follows the instruction in packages/swingset/src/stories/section.mdx to pair a skeleton card with a status message.

@alexcarpenter now just passing placeholder data like react spectrum. kinda depends per section if we need skeletons like this. doing the dummy data approach here is just so it doesn't show empty state while loading. anything that doesn't have dynamic rows tho could just get the skeleton prop tho

If we want to lean into the dummy data approach more, we can just render the dummy data text blocked out and hidden instead of explicit sizes here. might be simpler implementation wise 🤷

…ges from the skeleton

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Comment on lines +107 to +112
## When to show it

Not decided by the skeleton. The wiring around a panel owns it. The planned gate is
`useSpinDelay(loading, { delay: 150, minDuration: 500 })` with the skeleton mounted
but `visibility: hidden` until the delay passes, so a fast load never flashes it and
nothing shifts when it appears.
