# Brok UI block: Empty Search (`empty-state-no-results`)

An application no-search-results empty state with an icon tile, message referencing the query, clear and browse actions, and suggestion chips.

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-no-results
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.empty-state-no-results />
```

## Props

- `query` (string, default `wireless headphones`)
- `title` (string, default `No results found`)
- `description` (string, default `We couldn\'t find anything matching your search. Try a different term or clear your filters.`)
- `clear-href` (string, default `#`)
- `browse-href` (string, default `#`)
- `suggestions` (mixed|null, default `null`)

## Use when

- Telling a visitor their search returned nothing, naming the query and offering clear and browse actions.
- Suggesting alternative search terms as chips beneath the message.

## Avoid when

- Use empty-state-default for a generic first-run empty state, or empty-state-create for a create-first-project flow.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.empty-state-no-results />` 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

Telling a visitor their search returned nothing, naming the query and offering clear and browse actions.
Suggesting alternative search terms as chips beneath the message.

Avoid when

Use empty-state-default for a generic first-run empty state, or empty-state-create for a create-first-project flow.

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-no-results />

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.
