Divider

<sl-divider> | SlDivider

Dividers are used to visually separate or group elements.

Examples

Basic Divider 

<sl-divider></sl-divider>

sl-divider

import SlDivider from '@teamshares/shoelace/dist/react/divider';

const App = () => <SlDivider />;

Width

Use the --width custom property to change the width of the divider.

<sl-divider style="--width: 4px;"></sl-divider>

sl-divider style="--width: 4px;"

import SlDivider from '@teamshares/shoelace/dist/react/divider';

const App = () => <SlDivider style={{ '--width': '4px' }} />;

Color

Use the --color custom property to change the color of the divider.

<sl-divider style="--color: tomato;"></sl-divider>

sl-divider style="--color: tomato;"

import SlDivider from '@teamshares/shoelace/dist/react/divider';

const App = () => <SlDivider style={{ '--color': 'tomato' }} />;

Spacing

Use the --spacing custom property to change the amount of space between the divider and it’s neighboring elements.

Above Below 
<div style="text-align: center;">
  Above
  <sl-divider style="--spacing: 2rem;"></sl-divider>
  Below
</div>

div style="text-align: center;"
  | Above
  sl-divider style="--spacing: 2rem;"
  | Below

import SlDivider from '@teamshares/shoelace/dist/react/divider';

const App = () => (
  <>
    Above
    <SlDivider style={{ '--spacing': '2rem' }} />
    Below
  </>
);

Vertical

Add the vertical attribute to draw the divider in a vertical orientation. The divider will span the full height of its container. Vertical dividers work especially well inside of a flex container.

First Middle Last 
<div style="display: flex; align-items: center; height: 2rem;">
  First
  <sl-divider vertical></sl-divider>
  Middle
  <sl-divider vertical></sl-divider>
  Last
</div>

div style="display: flex; align-items: center; height: 2rem;"
  | First
  sl-divider vertical="true"
  | Middle
  sl-divider vertical="true"
  | Last

import SlDivider from '@teamshares/shoelace/dist/react/divider';

const App = () => (
  <div
    style={{
      display: 'flex',
      alignItems: 'center',
      height: '2rem'
    }}
  >
    First
    <SlDivider vertical />
    Middle
    <SlDivider vertical />
    Last
  </div>
);
