# Separator

A visual divider for separating content sections.

## Installation

Start from a Svelte 5 application, then install the component package, shared theme, and Bits UI peer:

```bash
pnpm add coss-svelte @coss-svelte/theme bits-ui
```

Import `@coss-svelte/theme/style-coss.css` after Tailwind from the application's global stylesheet.

## Usage

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { Separator } from "coss-svelte";
</script>

<div class="max-w-72">
	<div class="flex flex-col gap-1">
		<h4 class="font-medium text-sm">coss ui</h4>
		<p class="text-muted-foreground text-sm">
			Unstyled, accessible primitives for fast product UI and design systems.
		</p>
	</div>
	<Separator class="my-4" />
	<div class="flex h-4 items-center gap-4 text-sm">
		<div>Blog</div>
		<Separator orientation="vertical" />
		<div>Docs</div>

## Agent Notes

- Import Svelte exports directly from `coss-svelte`.
- This is Svelte 5 code: use `class`, lowercase event properties, runes, snippets, and documented `bind:*` contracts. Do not emit JSX, React hooks, `className`, `asChild`, or Base UI imports.
- Prefer this route's example and generated API table over React COSS snippets; COSS React particles are design references only.
- The copy-and-own registry is a preview. Inspect `/r/separator.json` for the complete local file and dependency closure.
- Separator is stable in the current source catalog.
