I have a weird API design consideration. I'm writing a container which can arrange and animate its items

val state = rememberNiceState(itemPositions: Positions.Stage0)
NiceContainer(
  itemCount = 3,
  state: NiceState = state,
  itemContent = { index -> MyItem(index) }
)
LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
  state.animateItems(Positions.Stage1)
}

The problem is that to calculate an (x,y) of each item given the "stage" I need to know the

itemsCount

: both in State consctructor and in

animateItems

. I could make

itemCount

private val in State, but I do not want to require user to pass

itemsCount

both to

NiceContainer

composable and to State constructor, this feels weird. Similarly passing

itemCount

only to State constructor and removing it from

NiceContainer

argument list feels not like something you do in other composable container layouts... Any suggestions?
