How to add placeholder text to TextEditor in SwiftUI?

Question

When using SwiftUI\'s new TextEditor, you can modify its content directly using a @State. However, I haven\'t see a way to add a placeholder text to it. Is it doable right now?<

Until we have some API support, an option would be to use the binding string as placeholder and onTapGesture to remove it

TextEditor(text: self.$note)
                .padding(.top, 20)
                .foregroundColor(self.note == placeholderString ? .gray : .primary)
                .onTapGesture {
                    if self.note == placeholderString {
                        self.note = ""
                    }
                }
