Background

Section divider "dots" are a common design pattern, and they can add a nice touch to long, content-heavy pages.

But implementing them is tough!

There's a wide variety of ways to approach their markup and styling, and if you want to use SVG (good for you!), the calculus for sizing and positioning gets even more involved.

And so as simple as they seem, divider dots are often overlooked.

That's where Ember Divider Dots comes in. The addon provides an easy-to-use, easy-to-configure component that generates a line of "dots" as crisp SVGs wherever you choose to place it.
