Divider #

Bases: Control

A thin horizontal line (divider), with padding on either side.

badge #

badge: BadgeValue | None = None

A badge to show on top of this control.

col #

col: ResponsiveNumber = 12

If a parent of this control is a ResponsiveRow, this property is used to determine how many virtual columns of a screen this control will span.

Can be a number or a dictionary configured to have a different value for specific breakpoints, for example col={"sm": 6}.

This control spans the 12 virtual columns by default.

Dimensions
Breakpoint Dimension
xs <576px
sm ≥576px
md ≥768px
lg ≥992px
xl ≥1200px
xxl ≥1400px

color #

color: ColorValue | None = None

The color to use when painting the line.

If None, DividerTheme.color is used. If that's is also None, defaults to Theme.divider_color.

data #

data: Any = skip_field()

Arbitrary data of any type.

disabled #

disabled: bool = False

Every control has disabled property which is False by default - control and all its children are enabled.

Note

The value of this property will be propagated down to all children controls recursively.

Example

For example, if you have a form with multiple entry controls you can disable them all together by disabling container:

ft.Column(
    disabled = True,
    controls=[
        ft.TextField(),
        ft.TextField()
    ]
)

expand #

expand: bool | int | None = None

Specifies whether/how this control should expand to fill available space in its parent layout.

More information here.

Note

Has effect only if the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

expand_loose #

expand_loose: bool = False

Allows the control to expand along the main axis if space is available, but does not require it to fill all available space.

More information here.

Note

If expand_loose is True, it will have effect only if:

  • expand is not None and
  • the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

height #

height: Number | None = None

The divider's height extent. The divider itself is always drawn as a horizontal line that is centered within the height specified by this value.

If None, DividerTheme.space is used. If that's is also None, defaults to 16.0.

key #

key: (
    str | int | float | bool | ValueKey | ScrollKey | None
) = None

leading_indent #

leading_indent: Number | None = None

The amount of empty space to the leading edge of the divider.

If None, DividerTheme.leading_indent is used. If that's is also None, defaults to 0.0.

opacity #

opacity: Number = 1.0

Defines the transparency of the control.

Value ranges from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque without any transparency).

page #

page: Page | PageView | None

The page (of type Page or PageView) to which this control belongs to.

parent #

parent: BaseControl | None

The direct ancestor(parent) of this control.

It defaults to None and will only have a value when this control is mounted (added to the page tree).

The Page control (which is the root of the tree) is an exception - it always has parent=None.

rtl #

rtl: bool = False

Whether the text direction of the control should be right-to-left (RTL).

thickness #

thickness: Number | None = None

The thickness of the line drawn within the divider.

A divider with a thickness of 0.0 is always drawn as a line with a height of exactly one device pixel.

If None, DividerTheme.thickness is used. If that's is also None, defaults to 0.0.

tooltip #

tooltip: TooltipValue | None = None

The tooltip ot show when this control is hovered over.

trailing_indent #

trailing_indent: Number | None = None

The amount of empty space to the trailing edge of the divider.

If None, DividerTheme.trailing_indent is used. If that's is also None, defaults to 0.0.

visible #

visible: bool = True

Every control has visible property which is True by default - control is rendered on the page. Setting visible to False completely prevents control (and all its children if any) from rendering on a page canvas. Hidden controls cannot be focused or selected with a keyboard or mouse and they do not emit any events.

before_event #

before_event(e: ControlEvent)

before_update #

before_update()

clean #

clean() -> None

did_mount #

did_mount()

init #

init()

is_isolated #

is_isolated()

update #

update() -> None

will_unmount #

will_unmount()
