# Brok UI block: Empty State (`empty-state-default`)

A centered empty-state with icon, message, and primary/secondary actions for first-run experiences.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/empty-state-default
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.empty-state-default />
```

## Props

- `title` (string, default `No projects yet`)
- `description` (string, default `Get started by creating your first project. It only takes a minute.`)
- `primary-cta` (string, default `New project`)
- `primary-href` (string, default `#`)
- `secondary-cta` (string, default `Import existing`)
- `secondary-href` (mixed|null, default `null`)

## Use when

- Filling an empty list or dashboard with a centred icon, message and primary/secondary actions to start the first item.
- Giving a first-time user a clear next step (e.g. 'New project') rather than a blank screen.

## Avoid when

- Use empty-state-no-results for a no-search-results state, or empty-state-create for a create flow with starter templates.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.empty-state-default />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Guidance

Use when

Filling an empty list or dashboard with a centred icon, message and primary/secondary actions to start the first item.
Giving a first-time user a clear next step (e.g. 'New project') rather than a blank screen.

Avoid when

Use empty-state-no-results for a no-search-results state, or empty-state-create for a create flow with starter templates.

Anti-patterns

Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.

Usage

Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.empty-state-default />

Built from primitives

Composes <brok:*> Semantic tokens Re-themeable RTL-ready

This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
