Description

Great work on the add-on. Keep doing the great job.

There are cases where the data @rows that is bound to the ember-table is empty.
Example: when applying a particular filter, the result can be empty.

In cases like the above, we must have a provision to show some default content (text, illustration, etc.,) specified by the user in the parent component.

<EmberTable as |b|>
  <table.body
    ...
    @noRecordsText = "No data available for now. Please come back later."
    @noRecordsImagePath = "/assets/images/no-results.svg"
    @noRecordsComponent = "/my-components/no-results"
    ...>
    </table.body>
</EmberTable>

(This also matches parity with ember-light-table in this particular aspect.)
Thanks in advance.

Research direction

Start by tracing the <table.body> API in the example and how it receives the bound @rows data. Define how user-provided no-records text, image, or component should be selected when the filtered table has no rows, then verify that the configured default content appears without changing populated tables.
