Accordion Layout

Common Accordion layout could be treat as the following:

<div class="accordion-list">
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <div class="accordion-item-toggle">...</div>
    <div class="accordion-item-content">...</div>
  </div>
  <div class="accordion-item accordion-item-opened">
    <div class="accordion-item-toggle">...</div>
    <div class="accordion-item-content">...</div>
  </div>
  <div class="accordion-item">
    <div class="accordion-item-toggle">...</div>
    <div class="accordion-item-content">...</div>
  </div>
  ...
</div>

Where

  • accordion-list - list of accordion items set. Optional class
    • accordion-item - single accordion item. Required
      • accordion-item-toggle - link to expand/collapse accordion item content. Required
      • accordion-item-content - hidden accordion item content. Required
    • accordion-item-opened - single opened accordion item

Collapsible Layout

If you want to use single separate collapsible element you may just omit "accordion-list" wrapper element:

<!-- Single collapsible element -->
<div class="accordion-item">
    <div class="accordion-item-toggle">...</div>
    <div class="accordion-item-content">...</div>
</div>

<!-- Another separate collapsible element -->
<div class="accordion-item">
    <div class="accordion-item-toggle">...</div>
    <div class="accordion-item-content">...</div>
</div>

Accordion List View

If you use list view as accordion you may use "item-link" element instead of "accordion-toggle":

<div class="list accordion-list">
    <ul>
        <li class="accordion-item">
            <a href="" class="item-link item-content">
                <div class="item-inner">
                    <div class="item-title">Item 1</div>
                </div>
            </a>
            <div class="accordion-item-content">Item 1 content ...</div>
        </li>
        <li class="accordion-item">
            <a href="" class="item-link item-content">
                <div class="item-inner">
                    <div class="item-title">Item 2</div>
                </div>
            </a>
            <div class="accordion-item-content">Item 2 content ...</div>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>
