Accessibility

Adheres to the Accordion WAI-ARIA design pattern.
We have outlined the various features that ensure the Accordion component is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. These features help ensure that your application is inclusive and meets accessibility standards.
  • Header is h3 tag on web.
  • aria-expanded is "true" when the Accordion Content is visible, otherwise false.
  • role is set to "region" for the currently expanded accordion panel.
  • aria-controls points to the id of the Accordion Content.
  • aria-labelledby references the accordion header button that expands and collapses the region.

Keyboard Interactions

  • Space - When focus is on an Accordion.Trigger of a collapsed section, expands the section.
  • Enter - When focus is on an Accordion.Trigger of a collapsed section, expands the section.
  • Tab - Moves focus to the next focusable element.
  • Shift + Tab - Moves focus to the previous focusable element.

Screen Reader

  • VoiceOver: When the Accordion Item is focused, the screen reader will announce the Accordion's title text and the state of the Accordion trigger (expanded or collapsed).

Nested Components

You can nest Accordion components to create a nested accordion. This is useful when you want to group related content together. In the following example, we have created a nested accordion to group the states of USA by region.
function App() {
return (
<Accordion
variant="unfilled"
size="sm"
className="m-5 border border-outline-300 w-[80%] max-w-[640px]"
>
<AccordionItem value="a">
<AccordionHeader className="bg-background-0">
<AccordionTrigger>
{({ isExpanded }) => (
<>
{isExpanded ? (
<AccordionIcon as={MinusIcon} size="sm" />
) : (
<AccordionIcon as={PlusIcon} size="sm" />
)}
<AccordionTitleText className="ml-3 text-sm">
USA
</AccordionTitleText>
</>
)}
</AccordionTrigger>
</AccordionHeader>
<AccordionContent className="pb-0">
<Accordion className="w-full border border-outline-300">
<AccordionItem value="b">
<AccordionHeader>
<AccordionTrigger>
{({ isExpanded }) => (
<>
{isExpanded ? (
<AccordionIcon as={MinusIcon} />
) : (
<AccordionIcon as={PlusIcon} />
)}
<AccordionTitleText className="ml-3">

</AccordionTitleText>
</>
)}
</AccordionTrigger>
</AccordionHeader>
<AccordionContent>
<AccordionContentText>
Capital city of California is Sacramento. California has a GDP
of 2.89 trillion dollars and follows Pacific Standard Time
zone.
</AccordionContentText>
</AccordionContent>
</AccordionItem>
</Accordion>
<Accordion className="w-full mt-5 bg-background-0">
<AccordionItem value="c">
<AccordionHeader>
<AccordionTrigger>
{({ isExpanded }) => (
<>
{isExpanded ? (
<AccordionIcon as={MinusIcon} />
) : (
<AccordionIcon as={PlusIcon} />
)}
<AccordionTitleText className="ml-3">

</AccordionTitleText>

semiarid grasslands and sandy alkali deserts. It is the most

</AccordionItem>
</Accordion>
)
}

Controlled Accordion

A component is controlled when it's managed by its parent using props. You can make the Accordion component controlled by passing the value prop to the Accordion and setting the onValueChange to update the value prop. In the following example, we have created a controlled accordion to display the expanded state of the accordion.
function App() {
const [selectedValues, setSelectedValues] = React.useState([
"item-1",
"item-2",
])
return (
<Accordion
variant="unfilled"
type="multiple"
value={selectedValues}
onValueChange={(item) => setSelectedValues(item)}
className="m-5 w-[95%]"
>
<AccordionItem
value="item-1"
className="border-t border-b border-outline-300"
>
<AccordionHeader>
<AccordionTrigger>
{({ isExpanded }) => {
return (
<>
<AccordionTitleText>

</AccordionTitleText>
{isExpanded ? (
<AccordionIcon as={MinusIcon} />
) : (
<AccordionIcon as={PlusIcon} />

</AccordionTrigger>
</AccordionHeader>
<AccordionContent>
<AccordionContentText>
Embark on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes and diverse
ecosystems of our planet. From majestic mountains to serene oceans,
discover the beauty that nature has to offer.
