Divider

Separate adjacent regions without adding navigation or state.

This guide covers Material UI Core with the default Emotion engine; extensions and additional demos are explicitly classified.

Use case and business boundary

A separator is not a meaningful heading; choose native orientation and semantic role appropriately.

Native composition and scope

Divider

Preserve native Material UI composition and types; do not substitute JGuang UI/Base UI/Radix APIs. Example entries are not extra components.

Native installation and initialization

npm install @mui/material@9.4.0 @emotion/react@11.14.0 @emotion/styled@11.14.1

Use native npm and Emotion, not an invented JGuang UI Registry URL. Place examples inside native ThemeProvider; choose CssBaseline or ScopedCssBaseline for the project. Inspect React, existing providers, lockfile and SSR first. Never overwrite files or conceal peer conflicts. This batch verified React 19.2.8; React 18 and below require matching react-is. See the included bilingual setup guide.

Practical native parameters

These selected parameters are not a flattened universal API. Preserve the native declaring owner, slot structure, nullable values and generics.

Runnable native examples

Machine keys select example entries, not universal variant props. Native demo JSX/data stay unchanged; JGuang-authored acceptance fixtures are explicitly labelled.

Actual usage example

Unmodified pinned native demo; copy its required local helper files together.

import Card from '@mui/material/Card';
import Box from '@mui/material/Box';
import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import Divider from '@mui/material/Divider';
import Typography from '@mui/material/Typography';

export default function IntroDivider() {
  return (
    <Card variant="outlined" sx={{ maxWidth: 360 }}>
      <Box sx={{ p: 2 }}>
        <Stack
          direction="row"
          sx={{ justifyContent: 'space-between', alignItems: 'center' }}
        >
          <Typography gutterBottom variant="h5" component="div">
            Toothbrush
          </Typography>
          <Typography gutterBottom variant="h6" component="div">
            $4.50
          </Typography>
        </Stack>
        <Typography variant="body2" sx={{ color: 'text.secondary' }}>
          Pinstriped cornflower blue cotton blouse takes you on a walk to the park or
          just down the hall.
        </Typography>
      </Box>
      <Divider />
      <Box sx={{ p: 2 }}>
        <Typography gutterBottom variant="body2">
          Select type
        </Typography>
        <Stack direction="row" spacing={1}>
          <Chip color="primary" label="Soft" size="small" />
          <Chip label="Medium" size="small" />
          <Chip label="Hard" size="small" />
        </Stack>
      </Box>
    </Card>
  );
}

Example dependency boundaries

@mui/material/Card, @mui/material/Box, @mui/material/Chip, @mui/material/Stack, @mui/material/Divider, @mui/material/Typography, @mui/material/List, @mui/material/ListItem, @mui/material/ListItemText, @mui/icons-material/FormatAlignLeft, @mui/icons-material/FormatAlignCenter, @mui/icons-material/FormatAlignRight, @mui/icons-material/FormatBold, @mui/icons-material/FormatItalic, @mui/material/styles

Direct Icons/System/Utils example imports require their matching 9.4.0 packages. Relative data/helpers are part of the example closure, not extra components. Remote images and simulated operations do not supply a backend.

Pinned upstream API metadata reference

These tables retain the upstream metadata, not a newly inferred generic type system. Conditional generics, inherited props and callback details are defined by the source declarations below. Theme defaults may override metadata defaults.

Divider

import Divider from '@mui/material/Divider';
import { Divider } from '@mui/material';

Native source declarations

Declarations/imports are extracted from pinned source without flattening unions or external inheritance. Original English comments/types are source reference, not a claim of translated upstream prose. Shared types stay in their native packages.

vendor/src/Divider/Divider.d.ts

import * as React from 'react';

import { OverridableStringUnion } from '@mui/types';

import { SxProps } from '@mui/system';

import { Theme } from '../styles';

import { DividerClasses } from './dividerClasses';

export interface DividerPropsVariantOverrides {}

}

export interface DividerTypeMap<
  AdditionalProps = {},
  RootComponent extends React.ElementType = 'hr',
> {
  props: AdditionalProps & DividerOwnProps;
  defaultComponent: RootComponent;
}

declare const Divider: OverridableComponent<DividerTypeMap>;

export type DividerProps<
  RootComponent extends React.ElementType = DividerTypeMap['defaultComponent'],
  AdditionalProps = {},
> = OverrideProps<DividerTypeMap<AdditionalProps, RootComponent>, RootComponent> & {
  component?: React.ElementType | undefined;
};

Post-install acceptance

Run strict types, production build and real interactions. Check keyboard labels/focus, disabled/error/read-only semantics where natively supported, both themes, narrow screens and reduced motion. Verify callbacks against the real host data; do not declare installation complete from copying a prompt. Initialization fixtures also require server HTML and warning-free hydration.
