Requirements

  • MUST implement PFv6 visual designs
  • MUST provide end-user feature parity with `@patternfly/react-core` EmptyState
  • MAY adjust element API to leverage web platform strengths
  • SHOULD maintain CSS custom property theming compatibility
  • SHOULD expose useful CSS shadow parts

Element-specific considerations

  • React `variant`: `xs`, `sm`, `lg`, `xl`, `full` - drives icon and text sizes; map to `size` attribute
  • React `status`: `custom`, `danger`, `info`, `success`, `warning` - drives icon color; map to `status` attribute
  • React `headingLevel`: `h1`-`h6` for the title; map to `heading-level` attribute
  • React `titleText` - the title; use `slot="title"` or `title` attribute
  • React `icon` - icon component; use `slot="icon"` (defaults to `` with status icon)
  • `EmptyStateBody`, `EmptyStateActions`, `EmptyStateFooter` - use named slots
  • Loading variant: swap icon slot for `` to show loading empty state
  • `full` variant fills the container's full height (100%)

Checklist

Implementation

  • API per `.claude/ADVICE.md`
  • CSS uses v6 tokens, logical properties, nesting
  • `@summary` and JSDoc on element class

Demos

  • Demos match patternfly.org naming/structure
  • CSS custom properties match computed styles from patternfly.org (Chrome MCP)
  • Visual parity verified via Chrome MCP

Tests

  • Public API covered (attributes, properties, events, slots)
  • `a11ySnapshot` assertions

Reviews

  • `/review-api` passes
  • `/review-demos` passes
  • `/review-a11y` passes
  • `eslint` and `stylelint` pass

Ship

  • Add changeset
  • PR targets `staging/pfv6` (NOT `main`)
