          <CheckCheckIcon />
        </MarkerIcon>

Usage

import { Marker, MarkerContent, MarkerIcon } from "@/components/ui/marker";
import { UserPlusIcon } from "lucide-react";

export function JoinedNote() {
  return (
    <Marker>
      <MarkerIcon>
        <UserPlusIcon />
      </MarkerIcon>
      <MarkerContent>Alex joined the conversation</MarkerContent>
    </Marker>
  );
}

Markers annotate flows — typically conversation threads next to Message — with inline status notes, date separators, or row boundaries. Add role="status" when the marker announces progress; links and buttons work inside the content.

Examples

Variants

separator centers the label between divider lines (date breaks); border underlines the row (for example an unread boundary).

"use client";

import { Marker, MarkerContent } from "@/registry/base/ui/marker";

export default function MarkerVariants() {
  return (
    <div className="flex w-full max-w-sm flex-col gap-5">
      <Marker>
        <MarkerContent>Default — inline status note</MarkerContent>
      </Marker>
      <Marker variant="separator">
        <MarkerContent>Today</MarkerContent>
      </Marker>
      <Marker variant="border">
        <MarkerContent>Unread messages below</MarkerContent>
      </Marker>
    </div>
  );
}

API reference

Marker

Renders a div by default; swap the element with the Base UI render prop to make the whole marker a link or button.

Prop	Type	Default
`variant`	`"default" \| "separator" \| "border"`	`"default"`
`render`	`React.ReactElement`	`div`

MarkerIcon and MarkerContent

Extend span. MarkerIcon is decorative (aria-hidden) — give the marker an aria-label if it would otherwise be icon-only. markerVariants is also exported for styling custom elements.
