Skeleton Morph Rows, animated React component

A loading state that becomes the content instead of being swapped for it. Each grey shape knows what it stands for: when the data lands it stretches to that piece's exact box and dissolves as the real thing appears inside it, row by row.

Move the controls and watch it change. Copy code gives you a snippet with only the props you changed.

Add it to your project

  1. 1

    Set up your project once

    You need a Next.js project with Tailwind CSS and the @/ import alias. In its root folder, run this once. It creates components.json and the cn() helper in src/lib/utils.ts:

    npx shadcn@latest init -d

    Starting from nothing? The Quick Start walks through the whole thing.

  2. 2

    Connect the registry with your API key

    Skeleton Morph Rows is a Pro item, so the CLI has to send your API key. Do this once per project:

    1. Create a key at nexus-ui.com/dashboard/api-key. Copy it straight away: it starts with nxs_ and is shown only once.
    2. In your project root, next to package.json, create a file named .env.local with this line, using your own key:
      NEXUS_API_KEY=nxs_your_key_here
    3. Open components.json and add this entry inside the outermost braces, next to "aliases". Leave {name} and ${NEXUS_API_KEY} exactly as written; the CLI fills them in:
      "registries": {
        "@nexus-labs": {
          "url": "https://www.nexus-ui.com/api/registry/{name}",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer ${NEXUS_API_KEY}"
          }
        }
      }
