title: "rememberPlaceholderState"
description: "Creates a [PlaceholderState] that is remembered across compositions.

A [PlaceholderState] should be created for each component that has placeholder data, such as a
[Card] or a [Button]. The state is used to coordinate all of the different placeholder effects
and animations.

Placeholder has a number of different effects designed to work together.
[Modifier.placeholderShimmer] does a shimmer animation over the whole component that includes the
placeholders. There should only be one placeholderShimmer for each component.
[Modifier.placeholder] draws a placeholder shape on top of content that is waiting to load. There
can be multiple placeholders in a component. For example, one for the title of an [AppCard],
another for the app name, and so on.

Once all of the components content is loaded, [isVisible] is `false` the shimmer will stop and a
wipe off animation will remove the placeholders to reveal the content."
