Overview

Placeholders can be used to render text-only “fields” within your forms. Each placeholder has content(), which cannot be changed by the user. 
use App\Models\Post;
use Filament\Forms\Components\Placeholder;

Placeholder::make('created')
    ->content(fn (Post $record): string => $record->created_at->toFormattedDateString())
Important: All form fields require a unique name. That also applies to Placeholders!

​
Rendering HTML inside the placeholder

You may even render custom HTML within placeholder content: 
use Filament\Forms\Components\Placeholder;
use Illuminate\Support\HtmlString;

Placeholder::make('documentation')
    ->content(new HtmlString('<a href="https://filamentphp.com/docs">filamentphp.com</a>'))

​
Dynamically generating placeholder content

By passing a closure to the content() method, you may dynamically generate placeholder content. You have access to any closure parameter explained in the advanced closure customization documentation: 
use Filament\Forms\Components\Placeholder;
use Filament\Forms\Get;

Placeholder::make('total')
    ->content(function (Get $get): string {
        return '€' . number_format($get('cost') * $get('quantity'), 2);
    })
