accordion

LIVE DEMO

accordion creates panels with content that can be collapsed and expanded.

  • XML element: accordion

  • Java class: JmixAccordion

Basics

Use accordion to group or hide similar content. Content is placed in nested accordionPanel elements. There can be multiple such panels, but only one can be expanded at a time.

To add accordionPanel in Jmix Studio, select the component in the screen descriptor XML or in the Jmix UI structure panel and click on the Add→AccordionPanel button in the Component Inspector panel.

The following example demonstrates accordion with three panels:

<accordion id="accordion">
    <accordionPanel summaryText="Stamford">
        <div text="Stamford is a town in the South Kesteven District of Lincolnshire, England."/>
    </accordionPanel>
    <accordionPanel summaryText="Boston">
        <div text="Boston is the capital and largest city of the American Northeast."/>
    </accordionPanel>
    <accordionPanel summaryText="London">
        <div text="London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom." />
    </accordionPanel>
</accordion>
accordion basic

Each accordionPanel has a summary and a content area to put other components or layouts. The summary remains visible, even when the panel is collapsed. The component allows to provide longer summaries, as opposed to tabSheet.
