What is an Accordion component?

An Accordion is a user interface component that consists of a vertical stack of collapsible sections. Each section can be expanded to reveal content or collapsed to hide it, allowing for an organized and efficient way to present information.

When to use Accordion?

Use an Accordion when you have a large amount of content that can be divided into distinct sections. This component is especially useful for FAQs, product descriptions, or any scenario where space optimization is required while still allowing users to access detailed information.

When not to use Accordion?

Avoid using an Accordion when the content is critical for users to view all at once, as collapsing sections may hide important information. Additionally, if the sections are not related or don't require an expandable format, a simple list or grid might be more effective.

What is the anatomy of an Accordion?

An Accordion typically consists of multiple headers (which the user clicks to expand or collapse) and corresponding content areas that are shown or hidden based on the user's interactions. Each header acts as a trigger for its associated content, ensuring a clear and intuitive user experience.
