Measured entry

shadcn-separator

cardunclassified

A client-side React wrapper around Radix Separator Root that renders horizontal or vertical dividers and defaults to decorative semantics. It ships as source code, imports the radix-ui package, and relies on a local cn helper plus Tailwind utilities and the project's border color token.

Verdict

A dependable choice for shadcn-style codebases that want one divider API for decorative and semantic use. It is easy to adapt and works without a provider, but it adds little value when a native rule and local CSS already meet the requirement.

Use it if

  • You need consistent horizontal rules inside cards, menus, settings panels, or stacked content.
  • You need vertical dividers in flex layouts while retaining Radix orientation and semantic behavior.
  • Your project already uses Tailwind theme tokens and a shared class-merging helper.

Skip it if

  • A plain semantic rule with a small CSS class already covers the design.
  • You want a standalone package with compiled styles instead of source copied into the app.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind and you do not want to translate utility classes into CSS.

Add radix-ui, clsx, and tailwind-merge, provide the local cn utility, and configure Tailwind with the border color token used by bg-border. Projects without Tailwind must replace the utility classes with equivalent CSS.
