When to use it

Use Empty & Loading States for what a region shows when there is nothing, it failed, it worked, or it is loading: an icon, title, description and actions. Skeleton is the shimmering placeholder for content on its way.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Empty & Loading States for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/state
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/state.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Free components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/invoices-empty.tsx

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import { Skeleton, State } from "@/components/ui/state";

export function InvoicesEmpty({ loading, create }: { loading: boolean; create: () => void }) {
  if (loading) return <Skeleton lines={4} />;
  return (
    <State
      kind="empty"
      title="No invoices yet"
      description="Invoices appear here after your first charge."
      action={<Button onClick={create}>Create invoice</Button>}
      framed
    />
  );
}

Props

Read from the component’s own TypeScript interface when the site is built, so this table cannot drift from the file you install.
