class quirl.components.skeleton.Skeleton(element: Optional[str] = None, properties: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, props: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, style: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, inner_html: Optional[Union[str, str, float]] = None, children: Optional[List[duck.html.components.HtmlComponent]] = None, **kwargs)[source]

A loading placeholder that shimmers while content loads.

Renders as a rounded block with an animated light sweep. Use multiple Skeletons to mock cards, avatars, or text blocks.

Note: requires quirl.styles.quirl_global_styles() added to the page head for the shimmer animation to run.

Usage:

Skeleton(width="100%", height="16px", variant="text")

Optional Props:

  • variant: One of rect, text, circle. Defaults to rect.

  • width: CSS width value. Defaults to 100%.

  • height: CSS height value. Defaults to 16px.

  • border_radius: Corner radius, overrides variant default.

Initialization

Initialize an HTML component.

Parameters:

  • element – The HTML element tag name (e.g., textarea, input, button). Can be None, but make sure element is returned by get_element method.

  • accept_inner_html – Whether the HTML component accepts an inner body (e.g., inner-body-here).

  • inner_html – Inner html to add to the HTML component. Defaults to None.

  • properties – Dictionary for properties to initialize the component with.

  • props – Just same as properties argument (added for simplicity).

  • style – Dictionary for style to initialize the component with.

  • event_handlers – Events to automatically bind. Each dictionary maps an event name to its handler and may include additional keyword arguments forwarded to bind(), e.g. event_handlers=[{"click": on_button_click, **extra_kwargs}].

  • **kwargs – Extra keyword arguments

Raises:

HtmlComponentError – If ‘element’ is not a string or ‘inner_html’ is set but ‘accept_inner_html’ is False.
