Vertical rule

Use the custom vertical rule helper to create vertical dividers like the <hr> element.

How it works

Vertical rules are inspired by the <hr> element, allowing you to create vertical dividers in common layouts. They’re styled just like <hr> elements:

They’re 1px wide
They have min-height of 1em
Their color is set via currentColor and opacity

Customize them with additional styles as needed.

Example

html

<div class="vr"></div>

Vertical rules scale their height in flex layouts:

html

<div class="d-flex" style="height: 200px;">
  <div class="vr"></div>
</div>

With stacks

They can also be used in stacks:

First item

Second item

Third item

html

<div class="hstack gap-3">
  <div class="bg-light border">First item</div>
  <div class="bg-light border ms-auto">Second item</div>
  <div class="vr"></div>
  <div class="bg-light border">Third item</div>
</div>

Customizing

SASS variables

Customize the vertical rule Sass variable to change its width.

scss/_variables.scss

$vr-border-width:             var(--#{$prefix}border-width);
