EmptyState

What to show when there's nothing yet.

An interactive page: C# runs over a Blazor Server connection.

What to show when there's nothing yet: no results, an empty inbox, a first-run screen. An icon, a title, a line of explanation and the action that fills it. Centered; no script.

Usage

razor

<EmptyState Icon="Lucide.Inbox" Title="No invoices yet" Description="Invoices you send appear here.">
    <EmptyStateActions><Button Href="/invoices/new">New invoice</Button></EmptyStateActions>
</EmptyState>

Icon, title and actions

Use Icon, Title and Description to say why it's empty, and EmptyStateActions for what fills it.

Parts

Written inside EmptyState. The API page lists their parameters.

EmptyStateActions: the buttons or links that fill an EmptyState, such as "New invoice" or "Clear filters".

Mode support

What works in each mode, EmptyState
Feature	Off	Static	Live
Everything	Yes	Yes	Yes

Off: JavaScript disabled. Static: a static SSR page with IzzyBlazor's script. Live: an interactive page (Server, WebAssembly or Auto).

Accessibility

Title is a heading, an h3 by default; set TitleLevel to fit the page's outline.
The icon is hidden from screen readers.
It isn't a live region: when a search empties a list, screen readers aren't told, so announce the result yourself if it matters.
