Second way to create working accordions with the help of JS Class instance learn more.

HTML Way

Just add below HTML to your code and that's it, you will have working accordion.

Customize accordion structure

You can customize the HTML struture however you want just make sure every accordion is inside of a container, that's an element which has data-jsc-accordion-container data attribute or a container of class instance. Every accordion have to wrap inside an accordion wrapper that's an element which has data-jsc-accordion-item data attribute or wrapper of class instance.

   // default [data-jsc-accordion-item]
   wrapper: '.item', // CSS selector
