Expand mode in Angular Accordion component

27 Apr 20249 minutes to read

The Accordion supports the two listed types of expand modes while expanding or collapsing the item.

  • Single
  • Multiple

Single

The property enables to expand only one Accordion item at a time. If you expand any new item, the previously expanded one is collapsed and new item changed to expanded state.

You can also choose which accordion pane is expanded state at initial rendering by enabling the expanded property on accordion items.
