Quick reference

Basic usage

Set the divide style

Control the border style between elements using the divide-{style} utilities.

<div class="divide-y divide-dashed">
  <div>01</div>
  <div>02</div>
  <div>03</div>
</div>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:divide-solid to only apply the divide-solid utility on hover.

<div class="divide-y divide-dashed hover:divide-solid">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:divide-solid to apply the divide-solid utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="divide-y divide-dashed md:divide-solid">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
