Placeholder Cards
In the example below, we take a typical card component and recreate it with placeholders applied to create a “loading card”. Size and proportions are the same between the two.
<div class="row gy-3">
<div class="col-md-6 col-xl-4">
<div class="card mb-0 h-100" aria-hidden="true">
<img class="card-img-top h-200px img-fluid object-fit-cover" loading="lazy" src="assets/images/small/img-2.jpg" alt="#">
<div class="card-body" id="cardContent">
<h6 class="card-title">Card Title</h6>
<p class="card-text c-o-light">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="#!">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 col-xl-4">
<div class="card text-secondary mb-0 h-100" aria-hidden="true"><img class="card-img-top h-200px img-fluid object-fit-cover" src="assets/images/placeholder-3.jpg" alt="#">
<div class="card-body">
<h6 class="card-title text-secondary"><span class="placeholder col-6 placeholder-light"></span></h6>
<div class="card-text mb-3">
<div class="placeholder col-7 placeholder-light"></div>
<div class="placeholder col-4 placeholder-light"></div>
<div class="placeholder col-4 placeholder-light"></div>
<div class="placeholder col-6 placeholder-light"></div>
<div class="placeholder col-8 placeholder-light"></div>
</div><a class="btn btn-primary disabled placeholder col-6" href="#!"></a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div><!--End row-->Placeholder Width
You can change the width through grid column classes, width utilities, or inline styles. (like: w-25 , w-50 , w-75 , w-100 )
<div>
<span class="placeholder w-50 placeholder-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder w-75 placeholder-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder w-100 placeholder-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder w-25 placeholder-light"></span>
</div>Placeholder Sizing
The size of placeholder are based on the typographic style of the parent element. Customize them with sizing modifiers: placeholder-lg, placeholder-sm, or placeholder-xs.
<div>
<span class="placeholder col-12 placeholder-lg placeholder-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 placeholder-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 placeholder-sm placeholder-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 placeholder-xs placeholder-light"></span>
</div>Placeholder Animations
Add animations to Bootstrap placeholders using the .placeholder-glow or .placeholder-wave classes for a smooth loading effect while content is being loaded.
<div>
<p class="placeholder-glow mb-0"><span class="placeholder col-12 placeholder-light"></span></p>
<p class="placeholder-wave mb-0"><span class="placeholder col-12 placeholder-light"></span></p>
</div>Colors Placeholder
By default, the placeholder uses currentcolor. This can be overridden with a custom color or utility class.
<div class="placeholder-glow">
<span class="placeholder col-12"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-primary"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-secondary"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-success"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-danger"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-warning"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-info"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-light"></span>
<span class="placeholder col-12 bg-dark"></span>
</div>Custom Animation Placeholder
With the wave-left-lines custom animation, placeholders may be used into your unique design.
<div class="d-flex flex-column gap-5">
<div class="placeholder-body">
<div class="placeholder-start square"></div>
<div class="placeholder-end">
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder w-25"></div>
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder placeholder-xs w-100"></div>
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder placeholder-xs w-100"></div>
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder placeholder-xs w-50"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="placeholder-body">
<div class="placeholder-start circle"></div>
<div class="placeholder-end">
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder-lg w-25"></div>
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder placeholder-xs w-100"></div>
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder placeholder-xs w-100"></div>
<div class="placeholder-line placeholder placeholder-xs w-25"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>Placeholder
Create interactive placeholders in Bootstrap by using buttons or links. When clicked, the placeholder content is replaced with the actual content, simulating a loading effect.
