# Separator (Lumen Halo): prompt.md (v1.0.0)

- id: `lumen-separator` · version 1.0.0 · component · free
- category: Layout
- build: Base UI (this item also ships a Radix build)
- install (this build): `npx shadcn@latest add https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/lumen-separator.json`
- npm dependencies: @base-ui/react@^1
- registry dependencies: utils, https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/lumen-foundation.json
- docs: https://beautiful-ui.dev/components/lumen-separator
- The install command carries everything this item needs (files, CSS, tokens, npm and registry dependencies). Prefer it to copying source by hand.

A hairline the colour of the glass's rim, across or down. shadcn's Separator, cut from Lumen glass.

## Build it
- Stack: React 19 (`ref` is a plain prop), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4 utilities, a shadcn-initialised project with the `@/*` alias.
- Packages: `@base-ui/react@^1` (Base UI build); `radix-ui@^1` (Radix build).
- Files: `components/ui/lumen/separator.tsx`.
- Registry dependencies, installed with it automatically: shadcn `utils` (cn), `lumen-foundation`.
- Builds: separate Base UI and Radix files. Install the one that matches the project (see Install): a free item's bare URL installs the Base UI build of it and its dependencies.
- Exports to keep: `Separator`, and every exported type.
- CSS: the install merges this item's rules (the registry `css` field) into your global stylesheet, in `@layer components`, and adds the lumen foundation (tokens, keyframes, motion levels) once. Nothing to import by hand.
- Re-running `add` (or `--overwrite`) re-applies those rules: put overrides in your own CSS, never in the installed rules.
- Tokens: retheme with the `--lumen-*` custom properties (`--lumen-accent`, `--lumen-accent-text`, `--lumen-bad`, `--lumen-bad-text`, `--lumen-focus`, `--lumen-good`, `--lumen-good-text`, `--lumen-hairline`, `--lumen-ink`, `--lumen-muted-ink`, `--lumen-series-1`, `--lumen-series-2`, `--lumen-series-3`, `--lumen-series-4`, `--lumen-series-5`, `--lumen-series-6`, `--lumen-warn`, `--lumen-warn-text`). Never add Tailwind colour classes inside the component.

```tsx
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/lumen/separator";
```

## Parts

| Part | data-slot | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| `Separator` | `separator` | The line. |

Style a part with `[data-slot="<slot>"]` selectors or its `className`; keep the attributes when editing.

## Sound
- Keep every `data-slot` and `data-sound` attribute: the sound layer reads them.
- Installing this item adds no audio. Nothing plays until the app mounts `GlassSoundProvider` once (install: `npx shadcn@latest add https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/glass-sound.json`, import from `@/components/beautiful-ui/glass-sound`); `GlassSoundToggle` is its mute control. Without a provider the audio engine never loads.

## Match the original
- Read `components/ui/lumen/separator.tsx` as the reference implementation before changing or recreating anything, and match it: sizes, colours per theme, motion timings, copy and behaviour.
- If you deviate (a prop you can't honour, a style you changed, a dependency you swapped), say so in your reply, part by part.
- Keep the accessibility contract, the keyboard map and the motion levels listed below.

## Use it when
- separator, divider, hr, rule, shadcn separator, Lumen
- Dividing groups in menus, toolbars, cards and lists

### Not when
- Spacing alone: use gap

## Mistakes
- Don't stack them for spacing

## Usage

```tsx
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/lumen/separator";

<Separator />
```

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `orientation` | `"horizontal" \| "vertical"` | `"horizontal"` | Across or down. |

## Customising
- Colours: set the `--lumen-*` tokens on `:root`, or on a container with the `lumen-scope` class to retheme one area. Add the `lumen-inherit` class to follow your shadcn palette instead (`--chart-N`, `--destructive`).
- Dark mode follows the `.dark` class on an ancestor (the shadcn and next-themes convention).
- Update later by re-running the install with `--overwrite` (review the diff if you edited it). Changelog: https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/changelog.json

## Keyboard

| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| — | Not focusable |

## Motion inventory

| Interaction | What moves |
|---|---|
| None | Still |

## Accessibility contract (preserve when editing)
- Decorative by default (Radix); role=separator when it means something

## Install

Base UI project (a base-* style in components.json):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/lumen-separator.json
```

Radix project (a radix-*, new-york or default style):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/radix-nova/lumen-separator.json
```

Or add the `@beautiful-ui` registry to components.json and run `npx shadcn@latest add @beautiful-ui/lumen-separator`: the CLI picks the build from your style.

/* Lumen Separator (Base UI build). shadcn's Separator in Lumen Halo: a hairline of the glass's rim. */

export { Separator };
```

### CSS (the registry `css` / `cssVars`, merged into the global stylesheet by the shadcn CLI)

```css
@layer components {
  .lumen-separator {
    flex: none;
    border: 0;
    background: var(--gc-hair);
  }
  .lumen-separator:is([data-orientation="horizontal"],:not([data-orientation])) {
    width: 100%;
    height: 1px;
  }
  .lumen-separator[data-orientation="vertical"] {
    width: 1px;
    align-self: stretch;
  }
}
```

The lumen foundation (the tokens listed above, keyframes and motion levels) installs once with the first component; its CSS is public at https://beautiful-ui.dev/r/lumen-foundation.json.
