Divider

<terra-divider> | TerraDivider
Since 1.0 stable

Dividers are used to visually separate or group elements.

<terra-divider></terra-divider>

Examples

Width

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

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

Color

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

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

Spacing

Use the --terra-divider-spacing custom property to change the amount of space between the divider and its neighboring elements.

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

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
  <terra-divider vertical></terra-divider>
  Middle
  <terra-divider vertical></terra-divider>
  Last
</div>

Use dividers in menus to visually group menu items.

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Option 5 Option 6
<terra-menu style="max-width: 200px;">
  <terra-menu-item value="1">Option 1</terra-menu-item>
  <terra-menu-item value="2">Option 2</terra-menu-item>
  <terra-menu-item value="3">Option 3</terra-menu-item>
  <terra-divider></terra-divider>
  <terra-menu-item value="4">Option 4</terra-menu-item>
  <terra-menu-item value="5">Option 5</terra-menu-item>
  <terra-menu-item value="6">Option 6</terra-menu-item>
