placeholder

@Composable
public fun Modifier.placeholder(
    placeholderState: PlaceholderState,
    shape: Shape = PlaceholderDefaults.shape,
    color: Color = PlaceholderDefaults.color,
): Modifier

Modifier.placeholder draws a skeleton shape over a component, for situations when no provisional content (such as cached data) is available. The placeholder skeleton can be displayed instead, while the content is loading. The reveal of the content will be animated when it becomes available (and hidden again if the content becomes unavailable), unless the ReducedMotion setting is enabled, in which case those are instantaneous. NOTE: For animations to work, an AppScaffold should be used.

If there is some cached data for this field, it may be better to show that while loading, see

Note that the component should still be sized close to the target, so the final reveal of the content is less disruptive.
