Cool tutorial, I dig it. I've been using something pretty similar for years, which has worked great. I use a "data-attibute" approach and the :empty CSS pseudo-class.
So, on the parent DIV that you're loading stuff into, have a data-attr, examples such as: data-skeleton-load="full" or data-skeleton-load="table" or data-skeleton-load="card" or data-skeleton-load="form".
Basically just keep the parent DIV empty until the data loads in, and while empty, the css loading animation will occur from one of your loading templates.
Kinda same idea, just a little different.

I wanted this kind of stuff from your channel a year ago, but now I have it. I have been doing it the hard way, thanks for simplfying the web!

After watching this video I just implemented it on an app I am working on at work. I used some very different settings, but this video inspired me to give it a whirl. Because it's an internal tool and there is a very fast load time it wasn't totally needed, but I had a fun time trying it out. Thanks for this video!
