API Reference

Root

Contains all the parts of an Accordion

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'div'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by `asChild`
`asChild`		`boolean` Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior. Read our Composition guide for more details.
`collapsible`	`false`	`boolean` When type is "single", allows closing content when clicking trigger for an open item. When type is "multiple", this prop has no effect.
`defaultValue`		`string \| string[]` The default active value of the item(s). Use when you do not need to control the state of the item(s).
`dir`		`'ltr' \| 'rtl'` The reading direction of the accordion when applicable. If omitted, assumes LTR (left-to-right) reading mode.
`disabled`	`false`	`boolean` When `true`, prevents the user from interacting with the accordion and all its items
`modelValue`		`string \| string[]` The controlled value of the active item(s). Use this when you need to control the state of the items. Can be binded with `v-model`
`orientation`	`'vertical'`	`'vertical' \| 'horizontal'` The orientation of the accordion.
`type`		`'single' \| 'multiple'` Determines whether a "single" or "multiple" items can be pressed at a time. This prop will be ignored if any of `v-model` or `defaultValue` is defined, as the type will be inferred from the value.

  <AccordionRoot
    type="single"
    default-value="item-2"
  >
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">
      …
    </AccordionItem>

    collapsible
  >
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">
      …
    </AccordionItem>
    <AccordionItem value="item-2">
      …
    </AccordionItem>

</template>

Multiple items open at the same time

</template>

Rotated icon when open

You can add extra decorative elements, such as chevrons, and rotate it when the item is open.

vue

// index.vue
<script setup>
import { AccordionContent, AccordionHeader, AccordionItem, AccordionRoot, AccordionTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
import { Icon } from '@iconify/vue'
import './styles.css'
</script>

<template>
  <AccordionRoot type="single">
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">
      <AccordionHeader>
        <AccordionTrigger class="AccordionTrigger">
          <span>Trigger text</span>
          <Icon
            icon="radix-icons:chevron-down"
            class="AccordionChevron"
          />
        </AccordionTrigger>
      </AccordionHeader>
      <AccordionContent>…</AccordionContent>
    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>
</template>

css

/* styles.css */
.AccordionChevron {
  transition: transform 300ms;
}
.AccordionTrigger[data-state="open"] > .AccordionChevron {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

Horizontal orientation

Use the orientation prop to create a horizontal Accordion

vue

<template>
  <AccordionRoot orientation="horizontal">
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">
      …
    </AccordionItem>
    <AccordionItem value="item-2">
      …
    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>
</template>

Animating content size

Use the --radix-accordion-content-width and/or --radix-accordion-content-height CSS variables to animate the size of the content when it opens/closes:

vue

// index.vue
<script setup>
import { AccordionContent, AccordionHeader, AccordionItem, AccordionRoot, AccordionTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
import './styles.css'
</script>

<template>
  <AccordionRoot type="single">
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">
      <AccordionHeader>…</AccordionHeader>
      <AccordionContent class="AccordionContent">
        …
      </AccordionContent>
    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>
</template>

css

/* styles.css */
.AccordionContent {
  overflow: hidden;
}
.AccordionContent[data-state="open"] {
  animation: slideDown 300ms ease-out;
}
.AccordionContent[data-state="closed"] {
  animation: slideUp 300ms ease-out;
}

@keyframes slideDown {
  from {
    height: 0;
  }
  to {
    height: var(--radix-accordion-content-height);
  }
}

@keyframes slideUp {
  from {
    height: var(--radix-accordion-content-height);
  }
  to {
    height: 0;
  }
}
