      id: 1,
      fruit: "Apple"
    },

  return (

    <Accordion showAll={true} hTag={'h2'} dividers={true}>
      {Sections.map((section, index) => {
        return (
          <AccordionSection key={index} title={`Section ${ section.fruit }`}>
            This is the {section.fruit} Section!
          </AccordionSection>
        )
      })}
    </Accordion>

  );

}

...

Motivation

At the time of initial development, there were few, if any, accordion components that offered the flexibility and accessibility that was required for the larger project the component was to be used in. The accordion needed to consume data from an API and populate the sections accordingly. Each section also needed to have the ability to change size in order to fit dynamic and interactive page elements that, when clicked within a section, would show or hide in a visibly pleasing way. Finally, it needed to comply with a11y web accessibility standards.

Installation

Install using Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install react-accordionlly
