Empty states

Introduction

You can display an empty state in your schema to communicate that there is no content to show yet, and to guide the user towards the next action. An empty state requires a heading, but can also have a description(), icon() and footer():

use Filament\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\EmptyState;
use Filament\Support\Icons\Heroicon;

EmptyState::make('No users yet')
    ->description('Get started by creating a new user.')
    ->icon(Heroicon::OutlinedUser)
    ->footer([
        Action::make('createUser')
            ->icon(Heroicon::Plus),
    ])

As well as allowing static values, the make() and description() methods also accept functions to dynamically calculate them. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Utility	Type	Parameter	Description
Component	Filament\Schemas\Components\Component	$component	The current component instance.
Get function	Filament\Schemas\Components\Utilities\Get	$get	A function for retrieving values from the current schema data. Validation is not run on form fields.
Livewire	Livewire\Component	$livewire	The Livewire component instance.
Eloquent model FQN	?string<Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model>	$model	The Eloquent model FQN for the current schema.
Operation	string	$operation	The current operation being performed by the schema. Usually <code>create</code>, <code>edit</code>, or <code>view</code>.
Eloquent record	?Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model	$record	The Eloquent record for the current schema.

Adding an icon to the empty state

You may add an icon to the empty state using the icon() method:

use Filament\Schemas\Components\EmptyState;
use Filament\Support\Icons\Heroicon;

EmptyState::make('No users yet')
    ->description('Get started by creating a new user.')
    ->icon(Heroicon::OutlinedUser)

As well as allowing a static value, the icon() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Eloquent record	?Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model	$record	The Eloquent record for the current schema.

Inserting actions and other components in the footer of an empty state

You may insert actions and any other schema component (usually prime components) into the footer of an empty state by passing an array of components to the footer() method:

use Filament\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Schemas\Components\EmptyState;

EmptyState::make('No users yet')
    ->description('Get started by creating a new user.')
    ->footer([
        Action::make('createUser')
            ->icon(Heroicon::Plus),
    ])

As well as allowing a static value, the footer() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.

Eloquent record	?Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model	$record	The Eloquent record for the current schema.

Removing the empty state container

By default, empty states have a background color, shadow and border. You may remove these styles and just render the content of the empty state without the container using contained(false):

use Filament\Schemas\Components\EmptyState;

EmptyState::make('No users yet')
    ->description('Get started by creating a new user.')
    ->contained(false)

As well as allowing a static value, the contained() method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
