Empty State
Used to indicate when a resource is empty or unavailable.
Distinguish an empty collection, no filter matches and unavailability. Supply a useful next action; do not conceal loading failures behind an empty state.
Included icon notices
The source viewer includes ICON_ATTRIBUTION.md and original notices for the icon collections used by these examples. Preserve them when redistributing examples; react-icons' wrapper license does not replace individual collection terms.
- Heroicons: MIT
- Lucide: ISC
Installation and initialization
npm install @chakra-ui/react@3.37.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0
Initialize ChakraProvider with defaultSystem and Emotion before rendering. Preserve the host React version and inspect peer compatibility. Official npm installation supplies components, not these example source files. Use the resource setup guide for locale, next-themes and framework-specific SSR; copy the selected example source separately from npm installation.
Complete native usage example
This is the actual pinned example, not a generic API mock. Copy its source closure and retain the named export. Additional imports are listed per example below.
import { EmptyState, VStack } from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { LuShoppingCart } from "react-icons/lu"
export const EmptyStateBasic = () => {
return (
<EmptyState.Root>
<EmptyState.Content>
<EmptyState.Indicator>
<LuShoppingCart />
</EmptyState.Indicator>
<VStack textAlign="center">
<EmptyState.Title>Your cart is empty</EmptyState.Title>
<EmptyState.Description>
Explore our products and add items to your cart
</EmptyState.Description>
</VStack>
</EmptyState.Content>
</EmptyState.Root>
)
}
All examples and reproduction requirements
Names identify demos, not component variant props. Copy every sourceFiles entry for the selected example. The compositions alias denotes local files, not a package. Preserve relative imports or rewrite the alias to your project's actual path. React peers are inspected separately; editor examples retain the coherent pinned Tiptap extension family.

Native API and source references
The source viewer retains original declarations, imports and inheritance. Ark UI event contracts, Chakra style props and recipe types stay in their native packages; this guide does not flatten or invent their defaults. Code comments remain original source, not translated prose.

State and installation checks
Run strict types, the target production build and real interactions. Test labels/focus/keyboard, both themes, narrow layout, empty/loading/error states where supported and cleanup after unmount. Remote demo endpoints, uploads and downloads are constrained in the preview; configure your own services. Copying a command or reaching preview-ready does not prove installation or backend success.
