Thumbnail

Thumbnail background image or placeholder icon.

The placeholder icon will display until thumbnail image loads, or if a thumbnail image is not provided.

Demos

Default

Placeholder

The placeholder serves two purposes:

  1. To display while a thumbnail image is loading, improving the experience of those with slower connections
  2. To display when a thumbnail image is not provided

The second case may occur in a group of components, like Cards or MenuItems, when some items have a thumbnail image but some do not. In this case, the placeholder icon helps maintain a consistent layout for all items. See the MenuItem demo for an example.

Default placeholder

Custom placeholder icon

To customize the placeholder icon, use the placeholderIcon prop.
