Tailwind CSS Accordion

Use the accordion component to stack sections that expand and collapse in place, like the questions of an FAQ or the steps of a setup guide. For a single independent section, use a collapsible.

<div class="accordion w-full max-w-lg">
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-shipping" class="accordion-trigger" aria-expanded="true">
        What are your shipping options?
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="in-aria-expanded:rotate-180"><path d="m6 9 6 6 6-6"/></svg>
      </button>
    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel expanded" data-sp-toggle="#acc-shipping">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        We offer standard (5-7 days), express (2-3 days), and overnight
        shipping. Free shipping on international orders.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-returns" class="accordion-trigger">

    <div class="accordion-panel" data-sp-toggle="#acc-returns">

        during business days.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Usage

Add the accordion class to the wrapper and compose each section from an item, a trigger, and a panel. The panel points at its trigger with data-sp-toggle. Opening a section closes the others.

Class	Description
`accordion`	Add to the wrapper, which carries the `data-sp-*` options
`accordion-item`	Add to each section, drawing the divider to the next one
`accordion-trigger`	Add to the `<button>`, wrapped in a heading
`accordion-panel`	Add to the collapsing element, where `expanded` starts it open
`accordion-content`	Add to the inner wrapper holding the section's content

<div class="accordion">
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="section-1" class="accordion-trigger">Section title</button>
    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel" data-sp-toggle="#section-1">
      <div class="accordion-content">Section content.</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

You can include an icon in the trigger, most commonly a chevron as its last child, which is sized and styled for you. The trigger's aria-expanded follows the state, so in-aria-expanded:rotate-180 rotates it while the section is open:

<button id="section-1" class="accordion-trigger">
  Section title
  <svg class="in-aria-expanded:rotate-180" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><path d="m6 9 6 6 6-6"/></svg>
</button>

Examples

Multiple open sections

Add data-sp-multiple and sections open independently.

<div class="accordion w-full max-w-lg" data-sp-multiple>
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button
        id="acc-notifications"
        class="accordion-trigger"
        aria-expanded="true"
      >
        Notification Settings
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="in-aria-expanded:rotate-180"><path d="m6 9 6 6 6-6"/></svg>
      </button>
    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel expanded" data-sp-toggle="#acc-notifications">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        Choose which updates you want to receive and how: email, push, or in-app
        notifications.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-privacy" class="accordion-trigger">

      </button>
    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel" data-sp-toggle="#acc-privacy">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        Control who can see your profile and activity, and manage two-factor
        authentication.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-billing-m" class="accordion-trigger">
        Billing & Subscription
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="in-aria-expanded:rotate-180"><path d="m6 9 6 6 6-6"/></svg>
      </button>
    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel" data-sp-toggle="#acc-billing-m">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        Update your payment method, view invoices, and manage your subscription
        plan.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Initially open

Author the expanded class on a panel to start it open, and mirror aria-expanded="true" onto its trigger so state-driven styling, like the rotated chevron, paints correctly before JavaScript loads.

<div class="accordion w-full max-w-lg">
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-open-trial" class="accordion-trigger">
        Is there a free trial?

      </button>
    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel" data-sp-toggle="#acc-open-trial">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        Yes, every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card
        required.
      </div>
    </div>

  <div class="accordion-item">

        questions asked.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Accordion icons

The chevron is plain markup, so swap it for another icon, move it in front of the title, or leave it out. Nothing moves on its own: in-aria-expanded:rotate-180 on the svg is what turns it while the section is open.

<div class="accordion w-full max-w-lg">
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-icon-chevron" class="accordion-trigger" aria-expanded="true">
        Chevron
        <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="in-aria-expanded:rotate-180"><path d="m6 9 6 6 6-6"/></svg>

    </h3>
    <div class="accordion-panel expanded" data-sp-toggle="#acc-icon-chevron">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        The classic indicator: a chevron as the trigger's last child, rotating
        as the section opens.

  <div class="accordion-item">
    <h3>
      <button id="acc-icon-plus" class="accordion-trigger">

    <div class="accordion-panel" data-sp-toggle="#acc-icon-plus">
      <div class="accordion-content">
        A plus whose vertical line fades away as the icon turns, leaving a

  <div class="accordion-item">

Add disabled to a trigger to lock its section.

Options

Accordion

Set each option with its own data-sp-* attribute on the accordion element.

Attribute	Values	Default
`data-sp-multiple`	Boolean	`false`

Each accordion-panel points at its trigger with its own data-sp-toggle attribute.

JavaScript

Events

The panels are collapsibles, so their lifecycle events fire on each panel and bubble. The before* events are cancelable.

Event	When
`sp-beforeexpand`	Before expanding (cancelable)
`sp-expand`	Expanding
`sp-expanded`	Expanded and settled
`sp-beforecollapse`	Before collapsing (cancelable)
`sp-collapse`	Collapsing
`sp-collapsed`	Collapsed and settled

accordion.addEventListener("sp-expand", (e) => {
  console.log("opening", e.target.id);
});

Methods

Each panel is a collapsible, so drive one with sp.collapsible(panel):

Method	Description
`expand()`	Expand the panel (closing siblings unless multiple)
`collapse()`	Collapse the panel
`toggle()`	Expand if collapsed, else collapse

sp.collapsible(document.querySelector("#section-1-panel")).expand();
