Divider

Dividers are used to visually separate content in a list or group.

The Divider component is a single part component. All of the styling is applied directly to the chakra.hr element.

Theming properties#

The properties that affect the theming of the Divider component are:

variant: The visual variant of the divider. Defaults to solid.
colorScheme: The color scheme of the divider. No default value.
size: The size of the divider. No default value.

Theming utilities#

defineStyle: a function used to create style objects.
defineStyleConfig: a function used to define the style configuration for a single part component.

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

Customizing the default theme#

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

const thick = defineStyle({
  borderWidth: '5px', // change the width of the border
  borderStyle: 'solid', // change the style of the border
  borderRadius: 10, // set border radius to 10
})

export const dividerTheme = defineStyleConfig({
  variants: { thick },
})

After customizing the divider theme, we can import it in our theme file and add it in the components property:

import { extendTheme } from '@chakra-ui/react'
import { dividerTheme } from './components/divider'

export const theme = extendTheme({
  components: { Divider: dividerTheme },
})

This is a crucial step to make sure that any changes that we make to the divider theme are applied.

Adding a custom size#

Let's assume we want to include an extra large divider size. Here's how we can do that:

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

const xl = defineStyle({
    border: "10px solid",
    borderRadius: 'lg',
})

export const dividerTheme = defineStyleConfig({
    sizes: { xl },
})

// Now we can use the new `xl` size
<Divider size="xl" />

Every time you're adding anything new to the theme, you'd need to run the cli command to get proper autocomplete in your IDE. You can learn more about the CLI tool here.

Adding a custom variant#

Let's assume we want to include a custom branded variant. Here's how we can do that:

import { defineStyle, defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

const brandPrimary = defineStyle({
    borderWidth: '3px',
    borderStyle: 'dashed',
    borderColor: 'orange.500',

    // let's also provide dark mode alternatives
    _dark: {
        borderColor: 'orange.300',
    }
})

export const dividerTheme = defineStyleConfig({
    variants: { brandPrimary },
})

// Now we can use the new `brandPrimary` variant
<Divider variant="brandPrimary" />

Changing the default properties#

import { defineStyleConfig } from '@chakra-ui/react'

export const dividerTheme = defineStyleConfig({
    defaultProps: {
        size: 'xl',
        variant: 'thick',
        colorScheme: 'brand',
    },
})

// This saves you time, instead of manually setting the size,
// variant and color scheme every time you use a divider:
<Divider size="xl" variant="thick" colorScheme="brand" />

Showcase#

import { Box, SimpleGrid, IconButton, Center, Divider, useColorMode } from "@chakra-ui/react";
import { FaMoon, FaSun } from "react-icons/fa";
export default function App() {
    const { toggleColorMode, colorMode } = useColorMode();
    return (
        <Box position="relative" h="100vh">
            <SimpleGrid gap={12} p={12} columns={2}>
              <Divider variant="thick" />
              <Center height="50px">
                <Divider orientation="vertical" variant="thick" />
              </Center>
              <Divider variant="brand" />
              <Center height="50px">
                <Divider orientation="vertical" variant="brand" />
              </Center>
              <Divider size="xl" />
              <Center height="50px">
                <Divider orientation="vertical" size="xl" />
              </Center>
            </SimpleGrid>
            <IconButton
                aria-label="toggle theme"
                rounded="full"
                size="xs"
                position="absolute"
                bottom={4}
                left={4}
                onClick={toggleColorMode} icon={colorMode === "dark" ? <FaSun /> : <FaMoon />}
            />
        </Box>
    );
