Empty with Link in Description Empty State for Solid

An empty favorites state titled No favorites yet, with a star icon and a Learn more link in the description.

UI library: Ark UI

A star icon, the title No favorites yet, and a description that favorites will show up here. The sentence ends with Learn more about favorites.

Use it when the extra help is optional and does not deserve a button. If marking a favorite is the next step, put that on a Button. In Solid, Ark UI does not mark favorites.

FAQ

How is that anchor styled?

EmptyDescription underlines its direct anchors and offsets the underline. On hover the link uses the primary color. The anchor in this file has no class of its own.

What icon is above the title?

StarIcon in EmptyMedia with variant="icon". EmptyTitle is "No favorites yet".

Does the link leave the page?

href="#" stays on this page. Point it at the favorites docs. The anchor has no target.

Where would a button go?

This file has no EmptyContent. The anchor in EmptyDescription is the only action. Add EmptyContent with a Button when you want a button under the text.

Is the inline link reachable from the keyboard?

Yes. It is a real anchor, so Tab focuses it and Enter follows href. "Learn more about favorites" is its accessible name. Hide StarIcon with aria-hidden.
