Empty state

What a list, a search or a panel says when it has nothing to show: an icon, a title, a line and an action.

Web + MobileStableFeedback

Web and mobile — the same component for React and React Native. Stable: its API only changes in a major version.

When to use

  • When a list is empty for the first time: say what will appear here and how to start.
  • When a search or a filter returns nothing: say so, and how to widen it.

When not to use

  • While the content is loading.Use instead: Skeleton
  • When loading failed: say what went wrong.Use instead: Alert

Props

PropTypeDefaultDescription
titlerequiredReactNode—What is empty, in a few words ("No videos yet").
actionReactNode—What to do next: a Button, a link.
descriptionReactNode—Why, or what will fill it.
iconReactNode—A decorative icon (hidden from assistive technology).

Accessibility

  • role="status": announced politely when it appears after a search.
  • The icon is decorative and hidden from assistive technology.

Best practices

  • Title: what is empty, in a few words (“No videos yet”); description: why, or what will fill it.
  • One action at most, the one that fills the list.
