Async in Vue.js - Part 1

Create a shape shifter Skeleton Card in Vuejs with Vuetify instead of a loader

Problem

Display a loading feedback into a web application is a big thing. A common approach is to just use a spinner loader to notify the user that something is happening.

This method has some drawbacks, for example, it does not say anything about the future content. Therefore the user has no clue of what it is going to be displayed.

Solution

Skeleton screens can be used instead of spinners to provide a stronger feedback
