Collapsible

Collapsible is an element that allows a user to toggle (view/hide) supplemental information or actions.

When to use:

To organize related information.
To shorten pages and reduce scrolling when content is not crucial to read in full.
When space is at a premium and long content cannot be displayed all at once.

Basic Usage

The styling prop at the top level <Collapsible /> component determines if the collapsible has basic styling, card, or card with heading.

Basic Style

>
  <p>Your stuff goes here.</p>
</Collapsible>

<Collapsible
  styling="basic"
  title="Toggle Collapsible"
>
  <p>Your stuff goes here.</p>
</Collapsible>

Card Style

This is the default style if no styling prop is supplied.

Imperative methods

If you need to open or close the Collapsible intermittently due to an event, such as loading the page or clicking a link, you can open or close an uncontrolled Collapsible by getting a ref to the component and calling collapsibleRef.open() or collapsibleRef.close(). The internal state of the component will be updated accordingly.
