); } ``` ## Styling ### Passing Tailwind CSS classes ```tsx import {Separator} from '@heroui/react'; function CustomSeparator() { return ( ); } ``` ### Customizing the component classes To customize the Separator component classes, you can use the `@layer components` directive.
[Learn more](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/adding-custom-styles#adding-component-classes). ```css @layer components { .separator { @apply bg-accent h-[2px]; } .separator--vertical { @apply bg-accent w-[2px]; } } ``` HeroUI follows the [BEM](https://getbem.com/) methodology to ensure component variants and states are reusable and easy to customize. ### CSS Classes The Separator component uses these CSS classes ([View source styles](https://github.com/heroui-inc/heroui/blob/v3/packages/styles/components/separator.css)): #### Base & Orientation Classes - `.separator` - Base separator styles with default horizontal orientation - `.separator--horizontal` - Horizontal orientation (full width, 1px height) - `.separator--vertical` - Vertical orientation (full height, 1px width) #### Variant Classes - `.separator--default` - Default variant with standard contrast - `.separator--secondary` - Secondary variant with medium contrast - `.separator--tertiary` - Tertiary variant with subtle contrast ## API Reference ### Separator Props | Prop | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | `orientation` | `'horizontal' \| 'vertical'` | `'horizontal'` | The orientation of the separator | | `variant` | `'default' \| 'secondary' \| 'tertiary'` | `'default'` | The visual variant of the separator | | `className` | `string` | - | Additional CSS classes | | `render` | `DOMRenderFunction` | - | Overrides the default DOM element with a custom render function.|
