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 2px wide
  • They have min-height of 1em
  • Their color is set via currentColor and opacity

Customize them with additional styles as needed.

Example

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

Change their color with background utilities:

<div class="vr bg-primary"></div>

Vertical rules scale their height in flex layouts:

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