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

<div className="vr"></div>

<div className="vr"></div>

Vertical rules scale their height in flex layouts:

<div className="d-flex" style={{ height: '200px' }}>
  <div className="vr"></div>
</div>

<div className="d-flex" style={{ height: '200px' }}>
  <div className="vr"></div>
</div>

With stacks

They can also be used in stacks:

First item

Second item

Third item

<div className="hstack gap-4">
  <div className="bg-4 border">First item</div>
  <div className="bg-4 border ms-auto">Second item</div>
  <div className="vr"></div>
  <div className="bg-4 border">Third item</div>
</div>

<div className="hstack gap-4">
  <div className="bg-4 border">First item</div>
  <div className="bg-4 border ms-auto">Second item</div>
  <div className="vr"></div>
  <div className="bg-4 border">Third item</div>
</div>

Customizing

CSS variables

Modify the --cui-vr-* CSS variables on any .vr to change its width or color.

scss

$vr-tokens: defaults(
  (
    --cui-vr-border-width: var(--cui-border-width),
    --cui-vr-color: var(--cui-border-color),
  ),
  $vr-tokens
);
