Combobox

Loading Empty

A combobox with the two forgotten states: skeleton bars while the list is on its way, and a useful empty state with ready-made queries instead of "nothing found".

React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.

What you can change

  • the row source through options and the ready queries through suggestions
  • the wait through delay and the starting query through defaultQuery
  • the state texts through loadingLabel, emptyLabel and emptyHint

A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ

How do I add Loading Empty with Cursor or Claude Code?
Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
What does Loading Empty depend on?
No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
What can I change in Loading Empty?
Adapt: the row source through options and the ready queries through suggestions; the wait through delay and the starting query through defaultQuery; the state texts through loadingLabel, emptyLabel and emptyHint. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-combobox-008-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens; clearing the timer inside useEffect and deriving the waiting state: without the first a stale answer overwrites the fresh one, without the second setState in the effect body causes cascading renders; the panel's min-height and the skeleton row height — otherwise the panel jumps and people miss the row.
Is Loading Empty free?
Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.

For developers

npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.club/r/pro/combobox-008.json

This command needs a signed link: sign in and open “Component source” below — it issues a working link valid for 30 minutes. All install options

Technical notes

The component is self-contained: one file, no dependencies, its own --vibeui-combobox-008-* palette. Client component: there are two states — the typed query and the shown one — and the waiting state is derived from them: while the shown one has not caught up with the typed one, the list counts as in transit, and there is no separate loading flag. useEffect only sets a timer on delay and clears it on the next keystroke, so a stale answer does not overwrite a fresh one, and there is no synchronous setState in the effect body. The panel keeps a min-height and the skeletons repeat the row height — the panel does not jump when the state changes. The field declares aria-busy while waiting and the skeleton block is a role="status" with a caption, so the loading is spoken. An empty result does not end at a message: below it lie buttons with queries that are known to return something. The list is hidden with the hidden attribute rather than removed — aria-controls has to point at an existing node.
