Accessible Accordion component for React

react-accessible-accordion

Accessible Accordion component for React. Inspired by rc-collapse and react-sanfona.

If you like accessible components, feel free to check this other repo react-accessible-modal.

Usage

First, grab the package from npm:

npm install --save react-accessible-accordion react react-dom

Then, import the editor and use it in your code. Here is a basic example:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import {
    Accordion,
    AccordionItem,
    AccordionItemTitle,
    AccordionItemBody,
} from 'react-accessible-accordion';

// Demo styles, see 'Styles' section below for some notes on use.
import 'react-accessible-accordion/dist/fancy-example.css';

const Example = () => (
    <Accordion>
        <AccordionItem>
            <AccordionItemTitle>
                <h3>Simple title</h3>
            </AccordionItemTitle>
            <AccordionItemBody>
                <p>Body content</p>
            </AccordionItemBody>
        </AccordionItem>
        <AccordionItem>
            <AccordionItemTitle>
                <h3>Complex title</h3>
                <div>With a bit of description</div>
            </AccordionItemTitle>
            <AccordionItemBody>
                <p>Body content</p>
            </AccordionItemBody>
        </AccordionItem>
    </Accordion>
);

ReactDOM.render(<Example />, document.querySelector('[data-mount]'));

Styles

We strongly encourage you to write your own styles for your accordions, but we've published these two starter stylesheets to help you get up and running:

// 'Minimal' theme - hide/show the AccordionBody component:
import 'react-accessible-accordion/dist/minimal-example.css';

// 'Fancy' theme - boilerplate styles for all components, as seen on our demo:
import 'react-accessible-accordion/dist/fancy-example.css';

We recommend that you copy them into your own app and modify them to suit your needs, particularly if you're using your own classNames.
