# Empty

Use the Empty component to display an empty state.

## When to use

* Show an empty state when a list has no items yet, with a short reason and an action.
* Explain a search with no results or a page with nothing to show.

## How it works

Parts: `Empty`, `EmptyHeader`, `EmptyMedia`, `EmptyTitle`, `EmptyDescription` and `EmptyContent`. `EmptyMedia` has a `variant` (`default`, `icon`). It is plain HTML with styles, the same in both versions.

## Example

### Base UI

```tsx
'use client'

import { IconFolderCode } from "@tabler/icons-react"
import { ArrowUpRightIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/shadcn/base/ui/button"
import {
  Empty,
  EmptyContent,
  EmptyDescription,
  EmptyHeader,
  EmptyMedia,
  EmptyTitle,
} from "@/shadcn/base/ui/empty"

export default function EmptyDemo() {
  return (
    <Empty>
      <EmptyHeader>
        <EmptyMedia variant="icon">
          <IconFolderCode />
        </EmptyMedia>
        <EmptyTitle>No Projects Yet</EmptyTitle>
        <EmptyDescription>
          You haven&apos;t created any projects yet. Get started by creating
          your first project.
        </EmptyDescription>
      </EmptyHeader>
      <EmptyContent className="flex-row justify-center gap-2">
        <Button>Create Project</Button>
        <Button variant="outline">Import Project</Button>
      </EmptyContent>
      <Button
        variant="link"
        render={<a href="#" />}
        className="text-muted-foreground"
        size="sm"
        nativeButton={false}
      >
        Learn More <ArrowUpRightIcon />
      </Button>
    </Empty>
  )
}
```
