Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://neobrutalism.com/r/separator.json

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/separator"export function Example() {  return <Separator />}
  • Separate sections of content or groups of related controls.
  • Divide inline items when a vertical separator fits the surrounding layout.
  • Add a subtle visual break without introducing extra spacing or a heavy border.

Examples

Separate content sections

Use the default horizontal orientation between sections.

separate-content-sections.tsx
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/separator"export function Sections() {  return (    <section>      <h2>Account details</h2>      <Separator />      <p>Manage your profile information.</p>    </section>  )}

Divide inline actions

Use vertical orientation between items in a row.

divide-inline-actions.tsx
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/separator"export function InlineActions() {  return (    <div className="flex h-6 items-center gap-3">      <button type="button">Edit</button>      <Separator orientation="vertical" />      <button type="button">Share</button>    </div>  )}

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
orientationSeparatorPrimitive.Props["orientation"]"horizontal"Sets the separator direction. Horizontal separators are full width; vertical separators are one pixel wide and stretch to their container.
classNameSeparatorPrimitive.Props["className"]—Additional class name passed to the Base UI primitive and combined with the component’s built-in sizing and background classes.
...propsSeparatorPrimitive.Props—Other props supported by Base UI’s Separator primitive are forwarded to it.

Accessibility

  • The component is based on Base UI’s Separator primitive, which provides separator semantics.
  • Use horizontal orientation between sections and vertical orientation between inline items, matching the visual direction to the content structure.
  • Keep sufficient spacing around the line so it is distinguishable from adjacent content; do not rely on the separator alone to convey essential information.
