We export the following placeholder components to make it easier for you to build placeholder product cards for while the product data loads.

​
The ImagePlaceholder component

This component renders a shimmering placeholder to be used in place of an image, while your product data loads. Modify this component to replicate the dimensions of your image. It can also be used as a block TextPlaceholder component by setting width and height instead of aspectRatio. 
if (!productData) {
  return <ImagePlaceholder aspectRatio={3 / 4} />
}
The following table shows the ImagePlaceholder configuration properties, their types, and descriptions:
​
aspectRatio

This property represents the aspect ratio of the image to be displayed. Mutually exclusive with width and height.
