Defaults to false, you can use this prop to hide the progress indicator.

html
<KButton @click="clickNoProgress()">Click for no progress indicator</KButton>
<KButton @click="clicked()">Click for default progress behavior</KButton>

<KSkeleton
  v-if="loadingNone"
  :delay-milliseconds="0"
  hide-progress
  type="fullscreen-kong"
/>

<KSkeleton
  v-if="loading"
  :delay-milliseconds="0"
  type="fullscreen-generic"
/>
html
<template>
  <KButton @click="clickProgress()">Click me to simulate progress manually</KButton>

  <KSkeleton
    v-if="loadingManually"
    :delay-milliseconds="0"
    :progress="progress"
    type="fullscreen-kong"
  />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
  const loadingManually = ref(false)
  const progress = ref(0)

  const clickProgress = () => {
    progress.value = 0
    loadingManually.value = true
    const interval = setInterval(() => {
      progress.value = progress.value + 20
      if (progress.value >= 100) {
        loadingManually.value = false
        clearInterval(interval)
      }
    }, 500)
  },
</script>

KSkeletonBox

KSkeleton package uses a component to render the placeholder content <KSkeletonBox>. It can be used as a component primitive to create your own custom placeholder components.
