| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| orientation | "horizontal" | "vertical" | "horizontal" | Direction of the line. |
| variant | "solid" | "dashed" | "solid" | Solid hairline, or dashed for a soft break. |
| label | ReactNode | - | Text set in a gap in the middle of a horizontal line, e.g. "Today" or "or". Ignored when vertical. |
| decorative | boolean | true | true renders role=none; false renders role=separator for assistive tech. |
| className | string | - | Wins over the defaults. |
Build notes
Built on the Radix Separator primitive, which handles the role switch and `data-orientation`. The line is a background-filled box (`bg-border`), sized by `data-[orientation=horizontal]:h-px w-full` or `data-[orientation=vertical]:w-px self-stretch`. Vertical uses `self-stretch` instead of the source's `h-full`, so it fills a flex row's cross axis without the parent needing an explicit height. `shrink-0` stops flex layouts from squeezing it away. In forced-colors mode author backgrounds are dropped, so the line is painted with `CanvasText`. **Pebble (2026-11-03).** Two optional props. `variant="dashed"` paints the line with a `repeating-linear-gradient` of `var(--color-border)` (4 px on, 4 px off) along the orientation's axis, so it stays a 1 px box with no border tricks. `label` (horizontal only) turns the root into a `flex items-center gap-3` row whose two halves are `before:`/`after:` pseudo-elements and whose only child is the `separator-label` span in `text-xs font-medium text-muted-foreground`; the label stays readable by assistive tech even when the separator is decorative, and the root carries `data-labelled`. A label on a vertical separator is ignored. The demo groups a feed by day with labelled separators, splits inline meta with vertical ones and uses dashed rules on a receipt. <!-- PEBBLE-LICENSE -->
