Source & props

Edit on GitHub ↗

Prop types and inline documentation are included below. This is repository source; the installer rewrites shared imports for your project.

import { cn } from "../lib/cn";

export interface DividerProps {
  orientation?: "horizontal" | "vertical";
  /** Optional label, e.g. "or". Splits the rule into two segments around it. */
  label?: string;
  className?: string;
}

/**
 * A semantic rule, horizontal or vertical, with an optional inline label.
 *
 * Uses `role="separator"` rather than a bare `<hr>` when labelled, since a
 * label turns it into a compound element `<hr>` cannot express; margins use
 * logical properties so a vertical divider's spacing does not need mirroring
 * by hand in RTL layouts.
 */
export function Divider({ orientation = "horizontal", label, className }: DividerProps) {
  if (orientation === "vertical") {
    return (
      <div
        role="separator"
