Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Designing what your UI shows while waiting for the backend, and when something goes wrong — the difference between an app that feels broken and one that feels polished.

How to Learn This

  • 1Add explicit loading, error and empty states to every data-fetching component.
  • 2Build a reusable skeleton loader component reused across your app.
  • 3Design user-friendly error messages instead of showing raw error objects.
