## Best for

A small Card under a library heading, its IconStack beside the copy from md up, with a create and a secondary import button

## Agent notes

- `EmptyState` renders its own `h1` Blueprint Library heading; demote it where your page already has an h1
- Create blueprint and Import blueprint are `Button` elements with no handler; wire creation and an import picker to them

## When not to use

- A 2 column split that pairs the prompt with a blank preview panel beside it: use [Empty Report Brief](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/empty-state/empty-state-5.md) (`get_block("empty-state-5")`)
- A section whose single add button sits in the header, above a buttonless muted panel: use [Section Add Prompt](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/empty-state/empty-state-11.md) (`get_block("empty-state-11")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/empty-state-10
```

## About Empty State blocks

### When to use

- A first run screen for records, projects, reports or a library that holds nothing yet
- A search with zero matches or an export page that has nothing to download yet
- A setup prompt to invite the team, enable a feature or connect file storage

### When not to use

- A compact no data message placed inside a table, list or panel you already have: use [Empty](https://web.dev.reui.io/components/empty.md) (`get_component("empty")`)
- Only the layered isometric illustration, with no title, copy or actions: use [Icon Stack](https://web.dev.reui.io/components/icon-stack.md) (`get_component("icon-stack")`)
- A populated tile that shows stats, a profile, links or an integration: use the [Card blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card.md)

### Agent notes

- `EmptyState` takes no props in every block, so its copy, media and actions are fixed in the block files; add props to reuse it
- Every page.tsx centers `EmptyState` in a `min-h-svh` wrapper with padding; drop that wrapper inside your own layout
- No action is wired: buttons have no `onClick` or only fire a sonner `toast`, and every `href` is a hash anchor
