Collapse

Description

Easily toggle visibility of almost any content on your pages in a vertically collapsing container. Includes support for making accordions. Visibility can be easily toggled with our v-w-toggle directive, or via v-model.

<div>
  <wui-button v-w-toggle.collapse-1 variant="primary"
    >Toggle Collapse</wui-button
  >
  <wui-collapse id="collapse-1" class="mt-2">
    <div>
      <p class="card-text">Collapse contents Here</p>
      <wui-button v-w-toggle.collapse-1-inner size="sm"
        >Toggle Inner Collapse</wui-button
      >
      <wui-collapse id="collapse-1-inner" class="mt-2">
        <div>Hello!</div>
      </wui-collapse>
    </div>
  </wui-collapse>
</div>

<!-- wui-collapse.vue -->

Usage

Other elements can easily toggle <wui-collapse> components using the v-w-toggle directive.

<div>
  <!-- Using modifiers -->
  <wui-button v-w-toggle.collapse-2 class="m-1">Toggle Collapse</wui-button>

  <!-- Using value -->
  <wui-button v-w-toggle="'collapse-2'" class="m-1">Toggle Collapse</wui-button>

  <!-- Element to collapse -->
  <wui-collapse id="collapse-2">
    <div>I am collapsible content!</div>
  </wui-collapse>
</div>

<!-- wui-collapse-usage.vue -->

See the v-w-toggle directive documentation for detailed usage information.

Initial visibility (start expanded)

To make the <wui-collapse> show initially, set the visible prop:

<div>
  <wui-button v-w-toggle.collapse-3 class="m-1">Toggle Collapse</wui-button>
  <wui-collapse visible id="collapse-3">
    <div>I should start open!</div>
  </wui-collapse>
</div>

<!-- wui-collapse-visible.vue -->

By default, an initially visible collapse will not animate on mount. To enable the collapse expanding animation on mount (when visible or v-model is true), set the appear prop on <wui-collapse>.

v-model support

The component's collapsed (visible) state can also be set with v-model which binds internally to the visible prop.

Note, when using v-model to control <wui-collapse>, the aria-* attributes and class collapsed are not automatically placed on the trigger button (as is the case when using the v-w-toggle directive). In this example we must control the attributes ourselves for proper accessibility support.

<template>
  <div>
    <wui-button
      :class="visible ? null : 'collapsed'"
      :aria-expanded="visible ? 'true' : 'false'"
      aria-controls="collapse-4"
      @click="visible = !visible"
    >
      Toggle Collapse
    </wui-button>
    <wui-collapse id="collapse-4" v-model="visible" class="mt-2">
      <div>I should start open!</div>
    </wui-collapse>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        visible: true,
      };
    },
  };
</script>

<!-- wui-collapse-v-model.vue -->

Trigger multiple collapse elements

You can even collapse multiple <wui-collapse> components via a single v-w-toggle by providing multiple target IDs using modifiers.

<div>
  <!-- Via multiple directive modifiers -->
  <wui-button v-w-toggle.collapse-a.collapse-b
    >Toggle Collapse A and B</wui-button
  >

  <!-- Via space separated string of IDs passed to directive value -->
  <wui-button v-w-toggle="'collapse-a collapse-b'"
    >Toggle Collapse A and B</wui-button
  >

  <!-- Via array of string IDs passed to directive value -->
  <wui-button v-w-toggle="['collapse-a', 'collapse-b']"
    >Toggle Collapse A and B</wui-button
  >

  <!-- Elements to collapse -->
  <wui-collapse id="collapse-a" class="mt-2">
    <div>I am collapsible content A!</div>
  </wui-collapse>
  <wui-collapse id="collapse-b" class="mt-2">
    <div>I am collapsible content B!</div>
  </wui-collapse>
</div>

<!-- wui-collapse-trigger-multiple.vue -->

Accordion support

Turn a group of <wui-collapse> components into an accordion by supplying an accordion group identifier via the accordion prop. Note that only one collapse in an accordion group can be open at a time.

<template>
  <div class="accordion" role="tablist">
    <div no-body class="m-b-5">
      <div class="p-5" role="tab">
        <wui-button block v-w-toggle.accordion-1 variant="info"
          >Accordion 1</wui-button
        >
      </div>
      <wui-collapse
        id="accordion-1"
        visible
        accordion="my-accordion"
        role="tabpanel"
      >
        <div>
          <span
            >I start opened because <code>visible</code> is
            <code>true</code></span
          >
          <span>{ text }</span>
        </div>
      </wui-collapse>
    </div>

    <div no-body class="m-b-5">
      <div header-tag="header" class="p-5" role="tab">
        <wui-button block v-w-toggle.accordion-2 variant="info"
          >Accordion 2</wui-button
        >
      </div>
      <wui-collapse id="accordion-2" accordion="my-accordion" role="tabpanel">
        <div>
          <span>{ text }</span>
        </div>
      </wui-collapse>
    </div>

    <div no-body class="m-b-5">
      <div header-tag="header" class="p-5" role="tab">
        <wui-button block v-w-toggle.accordion-3 variant="info"
          >Accordion 3</wui-button
        >
      </div>
      <wui-collapse id="accordion-3" accordion="my-accordion" role="tabpanel">
        <div>
          <span>{ text }</span>
        </div>
      </wui-collapse>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        text: `

      };
    },
  };
</script>

<!-- b-accordion.vue -->

Notes:

• When using accordion mode, make sure you place the trigger elements and <wui-collapse> components inside an element with role="tablist" and set role="tab" on each trigger element's container (each trigger element should be wrapped) in order to help screen reader users navigate the accordion group.
• If using the v-model feature of <wui-collapse> in accordion mode, do not bind the v-model or visible prop of all the collapses in the accordion group to the same variable!
• Ensure, at most, only one <wui-collapse> in the accordion group has the visible prop and/or v-model set to true. Only one collapse in an accordion group can be open at a time.

Hiding and showing content in the toggle button based on collapse state

When using the v-w-toggle directive, the class collapsed will automatically be placed on the trigger element when the collapse is closed, and removed when open. You can use this class to display or hide content within the toggle via custom CSS. The class not-collapsed will be applied when the target(s) are not closed.

Example HTML markup:

<div>
  <wui-button v-w-toggle:my-collapse>
    <span class="when-open">Close</span><span class="when-closed">Open</span> My
    Collapse
  </wui-button>
  <wui-collapse id="my-collapse">
    <!-- Content here -->
  </wui-collapse>
</div>

Example Custom CSS:

.collapsed > .when-open,
.not-collapsed > .when-closed {
  display: none;
}

'Global' $root instance events

Using $root instance it is possible to emit and listen events somewhere out of a component, where <wui-collapse> is used. In short, $root behaves like a global event emitters and listener. Details about $root instance can be found in the official Vue docs.

Optionally scoped default slot

The default slot can be optionally scoped. The following scope properties are available:

Accessibility

The v-w-toggle directive will automatically add the ARIA attributes aria-controls and aria-expanded to the component that the directive appears on (as well as add the class collapsed when not expanded). aria-expanded will reflect the state of the target <wui-collapse> component, while aria-controls will be set to the ID(s) of the target <wui-collapse> component(s).

If using v-model to set the visible state instead of the directive v-w-toggle, you will be required to, on the toggle element, add the aria-controls and other appropriate attributes and classes yourself.

While the v-w-toggle directive can be placed on almost any HTML element or Vue component, it is recommended to use a button or link (or similar component) to act as your toggler. Otherwise your trigger elements may be inaccessible to keyboard or screen reader users. If you do place them on something other than a button or link (or similar component), you should add the attributes tabindex="0" and role="button" to allow users of assistive technology to reach your trigger element.

When using accordion mode, make sure you place the trigger elements and <wui-collapse> components inside an element with role="tablist" and set role="tab" on each trigger element's container in order to help screen reader users navigate the accordion group. Unfortunately, WuiVue cannot apply those roles for you automatically, as it depends on your final document markup.

Note: The animation effect of this component is dependent on the prefers-reduced-motion media query.

Vue.component("wui-collapse", WuiCollapse);

Importing as a Vue.js plugin

This plugin includes all of the above listed individual components. Plugins also include any component aliases.
