AngularJS multi-level accordion

• Allows for a nested structure
• Works with (or without) ng-repeat
• Allows multiple sections to be open at once
• Optimized for mobile devices

Demo

• GitHub

Usage

• If you use bower or npm, just bower/npm install v-accordion. If not, download files from the github repo.

• Include angular.js, angular-animate.js, v-accordion.js, and v-accordion.css:

<link href="v-accordion.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-animate.js"></script>

<script src="v-accordion.js"></script>

• Add vAccordion as a dependency to your application module:

angular.module('myApp', ['vAccordion']);

• Put the following markup in your template:

<!-- add `multiple` attribute to allow multiple sections to open at once -->
<v-accordion class="vAccordion--default" multiple>

  <!-- add expanded attribute to open the section -->
  <v-pane expanded>
    <v-pane-header>
      Pane header #1
    </v-pane-header>

    <v-pane-content>
      Pane content #1
    </v-pane-content>
  </v-pane>

  <v-pane>
    <v-pane-header>
      Pane header #2
    </v-pane-header>

    <v-pane-content>
      Pane content #2
    </v-pane-content>
  </v-pane>

</v-accordion>

• You can also use v-accordion with ng-repeat:

<v-accordion class="vAccordion--default">

  <v-pane ng-repeat="pane in panes" expanded="$first">
    <v-pane-header>
      {{ pane.header }}
    </v-pane-header>

    <v-pane-content>
      {{ pane.content }}

      <!-- accordions can be nested :) -->
      <v-accordion ng-if="pane.subpanes">
        <v-pane ng-repeat="subpane in pane.subpanes">
          <v-pane-header>
            {{ subpane.header }}
          </v-pane-header>
          <v-pane-content>
            {{ subpane.content }}
          </v-pane-content>
        </v-pane>
      </v-accordion>
    </v-pane-content>
  </v-pane>

</v-accordion>

API

    <v-pane-header>
      {{ pane.header }}
    </v-pane-header>

    <v-pane-content>
      {{ pane.content }}
    </v-pane-content>
  </v-pane>

</v-accordion>

<button ng-click="accordion.expandAll()">Expand all</button>
<button ng-click="accordion.collapseAll()">Collapse all</button>

Methods

• toggle(paneIndex)
• expand(paneIndex)
• collapse(paneIndex)
• expandAll()
• collapseAll()

Events

• vAccordion:onExpand
• vAccordion:onExpandAnimationEnd
• vAccordion:onCollapse
• vAccordion:onCollapseAnimationEnd

Callbacks

Use these callbacks to get expanded/collapsed pane index:

<v-accordion onexpand="expandCallback(index)" oncollapse="collapseCallback(index)">

  <v-pane ng-repeat="pane in panes">
    <v-pane-header>
      {{ pane.header }}
    </v-pane-header>

    <v-pane-content>
      {{ pane.content }}
    </v-pane-content>
  </v-pane>

</v-accordion>

$scope.expandCallback = function (index) {
  console.log('expanded pane index:', index);
};

$scope.collapseCallback = function (index) {
  console.log('collapsed pane index:', index);
};

Accessibility

vAccordion manages keyboard focus and adds some common aria-* attributes. BUT you should additionally place the aria-controls and aria-labelledby as follows:

<v-accordion>

  <v-pane ng-repeat="pane in panes">
    <v-pane-header id="pane{{$index}}-header" aria-controls="pane{{$index}}-content">
      {{ pane.header }}
    </v-pane-header>

    <v-pane-content id="pane{{$index}}-content" aria-labelledby="pane{{$index}}-header">
      {{ pane.content }}
    </v-pane-content>
  </v-pane>

</v-accordion>
