Using flex to make the horizontal line vertical

I have read that inside a flex container if we give an hr tag it will become vertical. I have tried the same, but not able to achieve. Am I missing something here ?

.outer-div {
  background-color: aqua;
}

.inner-div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

<div class="outer-div">
  <div class="inner-div">
    <div class="details-div">
      <i class="fas fa-band-aid">I</i>
      <span>Get Details</span>
    </div>
    <hr />
    <div class="call-div">
      <i class="fas fa-band-aid">I</i>
      <span>Call Customer Care</span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Approach #1 : `transform: rotate(90deg)`

One approach to achieving a vertical <hr> is simply to apply:

transform: rotate(90deg);

Working Example:

.inner-div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
}

.inner-div hr {
  flex: 0 0 40%;
  transform: rotate(90deg);
}

<div class="inner-div">
  <div class="details-div">Get Details</div>
  <hr />
  <div class="call-div">Call Customer Care</div>
</div>

Approach #2 : Explicit `height` and `width`

Another approach is to declare exlicit dimensions for your <hr>:

width: 0;
height: 120px

Working Example:

.inner-div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
}

.inner-div hr {
  width: 0px;
  height: 120px;
}

<div class="inner-div">
  <div class="details-div">Get Details</div>
  <hr />
  <div class="call-div">Call Customer Care</div>
</div>

It does, the problem is, that the margin on the <hr/> makes it almost a dot. You could set your margin: 0 on the <hr/> to achieve expected behavior

The reason for this is that default value of align-items is stretch so <hr> will get the same height as largest element in flex-container [...].

Quoted from this SO Post

.outer-div {
  background-color: aqua;
}

.inner-div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

hr {
 margin: 0;
 }

    </div>
    <hr />
    <div class="call-div">
      <i class="fas fa-band-aid">I</i>
      <span>Call Customer Care</span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

It is working. Your element is just so short that it appears as a dot.

.outer-div {
  background-color: pink;
}

.inner-div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  min-height: 100px;
}
