Set custom animation in Angular Accordion component

18 Sep 20256 minutes to read

The Angular Accordion component supports custom animations for expand and collapse actions, enhancing the visual appeal and interactivity of content transitions. Use the animation property, part of the AccordionAnimationSettingsModel, to configure effect, easing, and duration for a tailored user experience. This is ideal for creating smooth transitions in navigation menus, FAQs, or collapsible panels.

Default animation is given as SlideDown for expanding the panel using expand animation property and SlideUp for collapsing the panel using collapse animation property. You can also disable the animation by setting animation effect as none.

The sample demonstrates some types of animation that suits for Accordion. You can check all the animation effects here.

              <div>Microsoft ASP.NET is a set of technologies in the Microsoft .NET Framework for building Web applications and XML Web
                services. ASP.NET pages execute on the server and generate markup such as HTML, WML, or XML that is sent to a desktop
                or mobile browser. ASP.NET pages use a compiled,event-driven programming model that improves performance and enables
                the separation of application logic and user interface.</div>

              <div>The Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern separates an application into three main components: the model,
                the view, and the controller. The ASP.NET MVC framework provides an alternative to the ASP.NET Web Forms pattern for
                creating Web applications. The ASP.NET MVC framework is a lightweight, highly testable presentation framework that
                (as with Web Forms-based applications) is integrated with existing ASP.NET features, such as master pages and membership-based
                authentication.

                the document content that was displayed.More recently, however, it has become common in both game development and
                the creation of desktop applications.</div>
