Overview

An accordion is a stacked list of panels which allows users to expand or collapse information when selected. They feature panels that consist of a section text label and a caret icon that collapses or expands to reveal more information.

import '@rhds/elements/rh-accordion/rh-accordion.js';
 
<rh-accordion>
  <!-- H2 tags will be removed on upgrade, rh-accordion-header will set the correct heading level internally using the header tag that wraps it -->
  <h2><rh-accordion-header>Item One</rh-accordion-header></h2>
  <rh-accordion-panel>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
  </rh-accordion-panel>
  <h2><rh-accordion-header>Item Two</rh-accordion-header></h2>
  <rh-accordion-panel>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p>
  </rh-accordion-panel>
  <h2><rh-accordion-header>Item Three</rh-accordion-header></h2>
