Placeholder

Read-only copy inside the form — tips, computed summaries, gentle reminders.

Standalone

from almasix.orbit.forms import Form, Placeholder

form = Form.make("demo").schema([
        Placeholder.make("hint")
            .content("Slugs can’t change after publish.")
])

In a Resource

from almasix.orbit import Resource
from almasix.orbit.forms import Form, Placeholder

class PostResource(Resource):
    @classmethod
    def form(cls, form: Form) -> Form:
        return form.schema([
            Placeholder.make("stats")
                .content("Word count updates after save.")
                .label("Stats"),
        ])

Key methods

• .content(text) — static HTML-escaped body
• Not dehydrated by default (_dehydrated = False)
• .label(...) optional; body can fall back to state
• .visible(...)

Closures work on .label(), .helper_text(), .placeholder(), .visible(), .disabled(), and .required() — see Form closures.
