Solution 1 - Flutter

Not as far as I know. However, it is quite simple to create one — if you look at the source for Flutter's Divider you'll see that it is simply a SizedBox with a single (bottom) border. You could do the same but with dimensions switched.


Update (Oct 4, 2018): a VerticalDivider implementation has been merged in by the Flutter team. Check out the docs but it's very simple to use — simply put it between two other items in a row.

Note: If you are using VerticalDivider as separator in Row widget then wrap Row with IntrinsicHeight , Container or SizedBox else VerticalDivider will not show up. For Container and SizedBox widget you need define height.

Solution 2 - Flutter

As of 10 days ago, flutter has merged a VerticalDivider implementation. It will be available in the default channel very soon, but for now you have to switch to the dev channel to use it: flutter channel dev.

Here is a example of how to use it:

IntrinsicHeight(
    child: new Row(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
  children: <Widget>[
    Text('Foo'),
    VerticalDivider(),
    Text('Bar'),
    VerticalDivider(),
    Text('Baz'),
  ],
))

Solution 3 - Flutter

Vertical divider:
  • As a direct child:

    VerticalDivider(
      color: Colors.black,
      thickness: 2,
    )
    
  • In a Row:

    enter image description here

    IntrinsicHeight(
      child: Row(
        children: [
          Text('Hello'),
          VerticalDivider(
            color: Colors.black,
            thickness: 2,
          ),
          Text('World'),
        ],
      ),
    )
    

Horizontal divider:
  • As a direct child:

    Divider(
      color: Colors.black,
      thickness: 2,
    )
    
  • In a Column:

    enter image description here

    IntrinsicWidth(
      child: Column(
        children: [
          Text('Hello'),
          Divider(
            color: Colors.black,
            thickness: 2,
          ),
          Text('World'),
        ],
      ),
    )
    

Solution 4 - Flutter

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class VerticalDivider extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Container(
      height: 30.0,
      width: 1.0,
      color: Colors.white30,
      margin: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, right: 10.0),
    );
  }
}

Solution 5 - Flutter

Try to wrap it inside the Container with some height as

Container(height: 80, child: VerticalDivider(color: Colors.red)),

Solution 6 - Flutter

Tried with VerticalDivider() but cannot get any divider. I Solved it with

 Container(color: Colors.black45, height: 50, width: 2,),

Solution 7 - Flutter

You can use a vertical divider with a thickness of 1.

          VerticalDivider(
            thickness: 1,
            color: Color(0xFFF6F4F4),
          ),

And if you can't see the vertical divider wrap the row with a IntrinsicHeight widget.

Solution 8 - Flutter

As @rwynnchristian suggested, this seems to be the simplest solution IMO. Just leaving the code here:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class VerticalDivider extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) => RotatedBox(
    quarterTurns: 1,
    child: Divider(),
  );
}

Solution 9 - Flutter

add this method anywhere.

  _verticalDivider() => BoxDecoration(
      border: Border(
        right: BorderSide(
          color: Theme.of(context).dividerColor,
          width: 0.5,
        ),
      ),
    );

now wrap your content in container

Container(
  decoration: _verticalDivider(),
  child: //your widget code
);

Solution 10 - Flutter

Use Container for divider is easy, wrap your row in IntrinsicHeight()

enter image description here

          IntrinsicHeight(
                child: Row(
                  children: [
                    Text(
                      'Admissions',
                      style: TextStyle(fontSize: 34),
                    ),
                    Container(width: 1, color: Colors.black), // This is divider
                    Text('another text'),
                  ],
                ),

Solution 11 - Flutter

Just wrap your Row in IntrinsicHeight widget and you should get the desired result:

IntrinsicHeight(
    child: Row(
  mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
  children: <Widget>[
    Text('Name'),
    VerticalDivider(),
    Text('Contact'),
  ],
))

Solution 12 - Flutter

Try RotatedBox in combination with a divider to get it vertical, RotatedBox is a widget of flutter that automatically rotates it's child based on the quarterTurn property you have to specify. Head over to here for a detailed explanation https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/RotatedBox-class.html

Solution 13 - Flutter

You need to wrap VerticalDivider() widget with the IntrinsicHeight widget. Otherwise, the vertical divider will not show up. And to gain some padding over the top and bottom you can add indent.

IntrinsicHeight(
                child: Row(
                  mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
                  children: [
                    Flexible(
                      child: VerticalDivider(
                        thickness: 0.8,
                        color: Colors.grey,
                      ),
                    ),
                    Flexible(
                      child: Text(
                        "Random Text",
                        style: TextStyle(
                            fontSize: 12,
                            color: AppColor.darkHintTextColor,),
                      ),
                    ),
                  ],
                ),
              )
