Divider
Design System - Divider component
The Divider component is a minimal visual element used to create a clear separation between content blocks, sections, or UI elements. Designed with simplicity and clarity in mind, dividers help maintain a clean layout structure, enhance visual hierarchy, and improve content readability without drawing unnecessary attention.
// Sample code
<CheckBox
label="Label"
onChange={(e)=>{console.log(e.target.checked}}
/>Anatomy
Variants
Small
The Small variant is the most minimal, offering a subtle line ideal for closely related content or where minimal visual interruption is needed.
Medium
The Medium variant provides a slightly more prominent separation and is commonly used between groups of information or components within a section.
Large
The Large variant offers the strongest emphasis, ideal for separating major sections or modules, especially in dense interfaces or dashboards.
Properties
With Icon
An optional icon can be added to the left or right (dismiss/close icon). This enhances usability and improves scanability, especially for chips used in status indicators or filters.
Property Configuration Table
Each design component offers a range of configurable options. These options are intentionally platform-agnostic, allowing implementations to adapt and tailor them to align with the specific requirements of the chosen framework.

Behaviours
Responsiveness
Dividers adapt fluidly to their container width and scale across screen sizes while preserving consistency in thickness and spacing.
Usage Guide
Use Dividers with Headers for Clear Sectioning
Place dividers below the header text to create distinct sections or page titles. This helps organise content and improves visual hierarchy.
Avoid using dividers excessively, as they can create unnecessary visual noise and clutter. Use them sparingly to maintain a clean and focused layout
