# EmptyState
Consul UIs default 'empty state' used for when we retrive an empty result set,
whether that set is successful or erroneous. This is mainly used via the
`ErrorState` component, so also consider using that directly instead of this
component if dealing with errors.
## Arguments
| Argument | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `login` | `Function` | `undefined` | A login action to call when the login button is pressed (if not provided no login button will be shown |
Icons are controlled via a `status-xxx` class. `xxx` should be some sort of
3 digit error code, special icons are used for `404` and `403`, otherwise a
generic icon will be used. To add any further special icons please add to the
component's `skin` file.
If the `@login` attribute is provided, a button will be shown directly
underneath the body text clicking on which will fire the provided `@login`
function.
```hbs preview-template
<EmptyState
class="status-404"
@login={{noop}}
>
<BlockSlot @name="header">
<h2>
Header
</h2>
</BlockSlot>
<BlockSlot @name="subheader">
<h3>
Subheader
</h3>
</BlockSlot>
<BlockSlot @name="body">
<p>
Body text
</p>
</BlockSlot>
<BlockSlot @name="actions">
<li>
<Hds::Link::Standalone
@text='Documentation on namespaces'
@href="{{env 'CONSUL_DOCS_URL'}}/commands/namespace"
@icon='docs-link'
@iconPosition='trailing'
@size='small'
/>
</li>
<li>
<Hds::Link::Standalone
@text='Read the guide'
@href="{{env 'CONSUL_DOCS_LEARN_URL'}}/consul/namespaces/secure-namespaces"
@icon='learn-link'
@iconPosition='trailing'
@size='small'
/>
</li>
</BlockSlot>
</EmptyState>
```
The component has four slots for specifying header, subheader, body and
'actions', although the component will show a minimal empty slot if only the
body slot is specified:
```hbs preview-template
<EmptyState>
<BlockSlot @name="body">
<p>
Minimal text
</p>
</BlockSlot>
</EmptyState>
```
