Usage and properties

Separate related groups of content with a themed divider. Apply CSS after the component layer to restyle the documented parts.

Use the installation guide to add blinc_cn and its component stylesheet. Create the fixture bindings once, and return the demo from your UI builder. Values marked Bound accept Signal/Computed sources where the API supports them; structural options configure the component at construction.

Keyboard and interaction

Informational content; no activation or Tab stop is required.

Customizing it

Add application CSS after the default component layer. These selectors are the restyling surface for this component:

  • .cn-separator

Theme and component variables: --primary, --text-primary, --text-secondary, --surface, --border, --radius-default, --duration-fast, --ease-state.

Built-in themes

The Live theme control installs Blinc's own theme bundles, including their colours, focus rings, corner shapes and motion tokens.

pub fn theme_bundle_for(name: &str) -> blinc_theme::ThemeBundle {
    match name {
        "restrained" => blinc_theme::RestrainedTheme::bundle(),
        "expressive" => blinc_theme::ExpressiveTheme::bundle(),
        _ => blinc_theme::HybridTheme::bundle(),
    }
    .with_css(blinc_cn::cn_styles::CN_STYLES)
}

Documentation

From the canonical component guide.

The default separator is horizontal. Set an explicit height on a vertical separator:

div().flex_row().items_center().gap(2.0)
    .child(text("Account"))
    .child(separator().vertical().h(24.0))
    .child(text("Settings"))

A labelled horizontal divider uses flexible containers around the lines:

div().flex_row().items_center().gap(2.0)
    .child(div().flex_grow().child(separator()))
    .child(muted("or"))
    .child(div().flex_grow().child(separator()))

The separator carries data-orientation. Its .cn-separator rule reads --cn-separator-color.

Platforms and version

The component API is available in Blinc 0.6.0. The Live example runs in a dedicated worker and requires a compatible GPU surface. Preview and Code remain available when Live cannot start. The canvas has a descriptive label; a full screen-reader DOM mirror is not provided. The gallery integration is based on revision e2e55c24e078.

Recordings and live demos use the default Hybrid theme with bundled Noto Sans. The recording uses a 560 × 320 logical viewport at twice that resolution. Live follows its container and actual display density. Source base revision · Exact build source · Artifact versions and checksums · Font license.
