@kevsimpson/accordion

Modern accessible accordion

Install

$ npm install @kevsimpson/accordion

Accordions rely on header and panel pairs, wrapped in a single container.

<div class="c-accordion js-accordion">
    <h2 id="accordion-header-1" class="c-accordion__header js-accordion__header">Accordion header 1</h2>
    <div id="accordion-panel-1" class="c-accordion__panel js-accordion__panel">
        ...
    </div>
    <h2 id="accordion-header-2" class="c-accordion__header js-accordion__header">Accordion header 2</h2>
    <div id="accordion-panel-2" class="c-accordion__panel js-accordion__panel">
        ...
    </div>
    <h2 id="accordion-header-3" class="c-accordion__header js-accordion__header">Accordion header 3</h2>
    <div id="accordion-panel-3" class="c-accordion__panel js-accordion__panel">
        ...
    </div>
</div>

An accordion effect can be achieved with minimal SCSS styles.

.c-accordion__panel {
    &[aria-hidden="true"] {
        height: 0;
        opacity: 0;
        pointer-events: none;
    }

    &[aria-hidden="false"] {
        opacity: 1;
    }
}

.c-accordion--is-ready {
    .c-accordion__header {
        cursor: pointer;
    }

    .c-accordion__panel {
        overflow: hidden;
        will-change: height, opacity;
        transition:
            height 0.25s ease-out,
            opacity 0.25s ease-out;
    }
}

Usage

import Accordion from '@kevsimpson/accordion';
const myAccordion = new Accordion(document.querySelector('.js-accordion'));

Methods

// remove all bindings and attributes when no longer required
myAccordion.destroy();

// re-initialise if necessary
myAccordion.init();

Options

const accordionContainer = document.querySelector('.js-accordion');
const myAccordion = Fraccordion(accordionContainer, {
    // String - Accordion header elements converted to focusable, togglable elements
    headerSelector: '.js-accordion__header',

    // String - Use header id on element to tie each accordion panel to its header - see panelIdPrefix
    headerIdPrefix: 'accordion-header',

    // String - Accordion panel elements to expand/collapse
    panelSelector: '.js-accordion__panel',

    // String - Use panel id on element to tie each accordion header to its panel - see headerIdPrefix
    panelIdPrefix: 'accordion-panel',

    // Boolean - If set to false, all accordion panels will be closed on init()
    isFirstPanelOpen: true,

    // Boolean - If set to false, each accordion instance will only allow a single panel to be open at a time
    isMultiSelectable: true,

    // String - Class name that will be added to the selector when the component has been initialised
    readyClass: 'c-accordion--is-ready',
});

Initial panels open by data attributes

Adding a data-accordion-is-open="true|false" attribute will initiate the plugin with the panel open / closed.

<div class="c-accordion js-accordion">
    <h2 id="accordion-header-1" class="c-accordion__header js-accordion__header" data-accordion-is-open="false">Closed accordion</h2>
    <div id="accordion-panel-1" class="c-accordion__panel js-accordion__panel">
        ...
    </div>
    <h2 id="accordion-header-2" class="c-accordion__header js-accordion__header" data-accordion-is-open="true">Open panel</h2>
    <div id="accordion-panel-2" class="c-accordion__panel js-accordion__panel">
        ...
    </div>
</div>
