Anatomy

Dashed frames are invisible state providers; shaded shapes own real DOM. Numbered pins match the list below.

A wireframe sketch of the assembled component. Each numbered marker matches a part in the list that follows.

  1. Accordion

    Open-item state provider. Does not add a DOM element.

  2. AccordionItem

    Owns an item wrapper. Owns a DOM element.

  3. AccordionHeader

    Heading wrapper. Owns a DOM element.

  4. AccordionTrigger

    Native button that opens its panel. Owns a DOM element.

  5. AccordionPanel

    Revealed region. Owns a DOM element.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Add the main part

    Start Accordion with one AccordionItem and value.

  2. 2

    Add the supporting parts

    Put Header and Trigger before the matching Panel.

  3. 3

    Make the behavior clear

    Use defaultValue for the item that should begin open.

    Exampletsx
    <Accordion defaultValue="one"><AccordionItem value="one"><AccordionHeader><AccordionTrigger>Details</AccordionTrigger></AccordionHeader><AccordionPanel>More information.</AccordionPanel></AccordionItem></Accordion>
