How to add lines besides a vertical text using SASS ?

In this article, we will see how to add lines besides some vertical text using SASS.

Approach: The HTML code is used to depict the basic structure of the body. Here, we define a division element with a class of wrapper to contain subsequent division elements. Another division element with a class of vertical-text is defined and it is rotated by 90 degrees using the transform property in SASS. For the rest of the text, two other division elements are defined with classes item-top and item-bottom respectively to represent some other text apart from the vertical text and these division elements are wrapped within another division element with a class of items.

Coming to SASS, to add a line beside the vertical text, we use the border-bottom property since the rotated element’s bottom section is actually displayed as a vertical border. The margins and the paddings of the other division elements are adjusted accordingly since the transform operation takes the vertical text outside of the normal flow of the document.

Example 1: Here, the vertical text is a random date (in this case 27 Feb 2022) and there is a line beside it defined using the border-bottom property (as explained earlier).

style.scss

body {
    text-align: center;
}
  
h1 {
    color: green;
    font-size: 2.5rem;
}
  
p {
    font-size: 1.25rem;
}
  
.wrapper {
    display: flex;
    align-items: flex-start;
    justify-content: flex-start;
    max-width: 600px;
    min-width: 600px;
    margin: 6rem auto 0 auto;
}
  
.vertical-text {
    display: flex;
    transform: rotate(-90deg);
    border-bottom: 2px solid black;
    padding-left: 5.5rem;
  
    p {
        padding-bottom: 0.1rem;
    }
}
  
.items {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: flex-start;
    align-items: flex-start;
    margin-left: -3.8rem;
    margin-top: -3rem;
  
    p {
        padding-left: 1rem;
    }
}
  
.item-top {
    p {
        padding-bottom: 1rem;
    }
}
  
.item-bottom {
    border-top: 2px solid black;
  
    p {
        padding-top: 1rem;
    }
}
                      
                      
                                                    
                       
                  
                  
  
    
Output: The generated CSS output will be as shown below.

Example 2: This example is quite similar to the previous example but the only difference is that there is only one item division element apart from the vertically rotated text. Moreover, the vertical text is rotated the other way around by 90 degrees instead of negative 90 degrees.
