# Deprecation: #95005 - Extbase EmptyView

See [forge#95005](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/95005)

## Description

To further clean up and streamline Fluid view related functionality, the
Extbase related view class `\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\View\EmptyView`
has been marked as deprecated.

## Impact

Using `EmptyView` has been marked as deprecated and trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error upon use.

## Affected Installations

The class has been unused within TYPO3 core since its introduction in TYPO3 4.5.
It is rather unlikely instances have extensions using the class. The extension
scanner finds usages with a strong match.

## Migration

If rendering "nothing" by a view instance is needed for whatever reason, the
same result can be achieved with a `\TYPO3\CMS\Fluid\View\StandaloneView`
view instance by setting `$view->setTemplateSource('')` and calling
`$view->render()`. But it's of course quicker to simply not render
anything at all.
