ErrorState

A failure surface that names the problem and lets the user try again.

Live — this one is real

Could not load artwork

Check your connection and try again.

Usage

tsx

"use client";

import { useState } from "react";
import { ErrorState } from "mizu-ui";

export function Example() {
  const [retried, setRetried] = useState(false);
  return retried ? (
    <p>Retry requested.</p>
  ) : (
    <ErrorState title="Could not load artwork" onRetry={() => setRetried(true)}>
      Check your connection and try again.
    </ErrorState>
  );
}

It starts with "use client" because it keeps state or passes functions to components, so it pastes into a Next.js page as it is. Other React setups ignore the directive.

Source & setup

Add this component to your project with the shadcn CLI. The command copies its source into your configured UI directory, with base.css, Mizu’s tokens, and the stylesheets that hold its rules. Each rule lives in one stylesheet, so components you add together never repeat CSS. In a project without a components.json, run npx shadcn@latest init 0xuser64bit/mizu/preset first: plain init installs shadcn’s theme into your global CSS. Then load the fonts.

npx shadcn@latest add 0xuser64bit/mizu/error-state

Every component imports from its own path, its name in kebab case. Its source, status/Feedback.tsx, also holds Status, Alert, Progress, Meter, Skeleton, EmptyState, ConnectionStatus, SaveIndicator, AsyncBoundary and TaskProgress. Each has its own command and path; adding one after this copies only its small entry file. To paste the example, replace its mizu-ui import with:

tsx

import { ErrorState } from "@/components/ui/mizu/error-state";

For npm imports, import mizu-ui/styles.css once. Fonts are optional via mizu-ui/fonts.css. Override --mizu-* tokens or use className for local styling. Uses native React and CSS; install the package peers for root imports. A Client Component: its source starts with “use client”.

Inspect status/Feedback.tsx

Source is included in the npm package under src/status/Feedback.tsx.

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
title	string	—	Specific problem heading.
onRetry	() => void	—	Requests a retry; own the data state outside the component.

Accessibility

Error content is announced. Retry is a native button and does not clear unrelated content.

Motion

CSS transitions explain state changes. Reduced motion removes travel.
