Divider

A <Divider> is a visual separator between two groups of content, e.g. groups of menu items or sections of a page.

Anatomy

The <Divider> component contains a single element that can be used to create a horizontal or vertical line to separate content.

The appearance of a component can be customized using the variant and size props. These props adjust the visual style and dimensions of the component, available values are based on the active theme.

Variant

Size

The selected theme does not has any options for "size".

Property	Type	Description
`variant`	`default \| bold`	The available variants of this component.
`size`	`-`	The available sizes of this component.

Usage

You should use <Divider> to visually separate related content, such as sections in a settings page, items in a list, or actions in a toolbar. They help improve clarity and organization without adding semantic meaning. However, dividers should be used sparingly—only when spacing alone doesn’t provide enough separation. Avoid them if they create visual clutter or when semantic elements like headings or sections are more appropriate.

Alternative Components

Stack: If you need to create space between elements, consider using the <Stack> component instead of a divider. It provides spacing without the visual line.
