No Files Empty State for Ark UI

An empty folder titled No files uploaded, with Upload Files and Create Document under the message.

A file icon, the title No files uploaded, and a line that the folder is empty. Upload Files and Create Document sit under the message.

Use it in a file manager when the folder is truly empty. While files are still loading, show a Skeleton. In React, Ark UI does not upload the file.

FAQ

What are the two actions?

Upload Files is a default Button with an UploadIcon icon. Create Document is variant="outline" with a PlusIcon icon. Both sit in a div with flex gap-2 inside EmptyContent.

What icon is in the header?

FileTextIcon is inside EmptyMedia with variant="icon". The icons on the buttons are separate from that tile.

What does the empty folder say?

EmptyTitle is "No files uploaded". EmptyDescription says the folder is empty and to upload files or create documents to get started.

Which button comes first?

Upload Files is first in the row, then Create Document. The row uses gap-2, so the gap follows the inline direction.

Do the buttons open a file picker?

No. This demo only renders the buttons. Add a click handler on Upload Files for the picker and on Create Document for the create flow.

How should the icons be treated?

The title already says no files are uploaded, and the button names are their labels. Mark FileTextIcon, UploadIcon, and PlusIcon aria-hidden.
