The Timeline.Item component is used to display items on a vertical timeline, connected by Timeline.Badge elements.

Example with in-line links

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>

<Timeline>

    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>
      <Link href="#" sx={{fontWeight: 'bold', color: 'fg.default', mr: 1}} muted>
        Monalisa

Default Color example

The default Timeline.Badge color is dark text on a light grey background.

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Default badge color</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Default badge color</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

Adding color to a Badge

To have color variants, use the bg prop on the Timeline.Badge. If an icon is being used, set the color prop of the child StyledOcticon if necessary.

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} sx={{color: 'fg.onEmphasis'}} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background used when closed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} color="fg.onEmphasis" />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background when opened or passed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} sx={{color: 'fg.onEmphasis'}} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background used when pull requests are merged</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} sx={{color: 'fg.onEmphasis'}} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background used when closed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} color="fg.onEmphasis" />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background when opened or passed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} sx={{color: 'fg.onEmphasis'}} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background used when pull requests are merged</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

Condensed items

Timeline has a condensed prop that will reduce the vertical padding and remove the background from the badge item. These are most commonly used in commits. To condense a single item, remove the top or bottom padding with the pt={0} or pb={0} prop.

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item condensed>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={GitCommitIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>This is the message of a condensed TimelineItem</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Item condensed>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={GitCommitIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>This is the message of a condensed TimelineItem</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item condensed>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={GitCommitIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>This is the message of a condensed TimelineItem</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Item condensed>
    <Timeline.Badge>
      <StyledOcticon icon={GitCommitIcon} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>This is the message of a condensed TimelineItem</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

Timeline Break

To create a visual break in the timeline, use Timeline.Break. This adds a horizontal bar across the timeline to show that something has disrupted it. Usually this happens when a close or merged event occurs.

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} color="fg.onEmphasis" />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background used when closed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Break />
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'success.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} sx={{color: 'fg.onEmphasis'}} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background when opened or passed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>

<Timeline>
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'danger.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} color="fg.onEmphasis" />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background used when closed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
  <Timeline.Break />
  <Timeline.Item>
    <Timeline.Badge sx={{bg: 'success.emphasis'}}>
      <StyledOcticon icon={FlameIcon} sx={{color: 'fg.onEmphasis'}} />
    </Timeline.Badge>
    <Timeline.Body>Background when opened or passed events occur</Timeline.Body>
  </Timeline.Item>
</Timeline>
