Accordions

Use the accordion component to show and hide content sections, organize related information, and enable progressive disclosure in your docs.

Use accordions to organize information and progressively disclose content. Users can expand and collapse each section.

When you open an accordion, the URL hash updates, which lets you share direct links to specific accordion sections.

I am an Accordion.

You can put any content in here, including other components, like code:

HelloWorld.java
 class HelloWorld {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         System.out.println("Hello, World!");
     }
 }
Accordion
<Accordion title="I am an Accordion.">
  You can put any content in here, including other components, like code:

   ```java HelloWorld.java
    class HelloWorld {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Hello, World!");
        }
    }
  ```
</Accordion>

Group related accordions together using <AccordionGroup>. This creates a cohesive section of accordions that can be individually expanded or collapsed.

Getting started

You can put other components inside Accordions.

HelloWorld.java
class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}
Advanced features

Add icons to make accordions more visually distinct and scannable.

Troubleshooting

Keep related content organized into groups.
