Installation​

add_subdirectory(shadcn-cpp)
target_link_libraries(app PRIVATE shadcn::widgets)

Usage​

#include <shadcn/widgets.hpp>

shadcn::Separator line(Qt::Horizontal, parent);
layout.addWidget(&line);

Use Qt::Vertical when the separator divides columns.

API​

setOrientation changes the direction. The narrow layout dimension stays one logical pixel.

Accessibility​

The current class is decorative. Use a text label or another semantic control when the rule carries meaning that a screen reader needs to announce.
