Set the nested accordion in Angular Accordion component

22 Sep 202510 minutes to read

Nested Accordions allow hierarchical organization of content within the Syncfusion Angular Accordion component, enabling multi-level expandable sections for applications like navigation menus, FAQs, or data trees. Render a child Accordion inside the content area of a parent Accordion item using Angular’s ng-template. This approach integrates the nested Accordion with full functionality, including expand/collapse behavior.

To set up nested Accordions, ensure the @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations package is installed and imported. Use ng-template inside each e-accordionitem tag with the #content attribute to define the item’s content area. Then, apply ng-template with a select attribute referencing an ID or class to map the nested content. Note that ng-template is an Angular core directive and requires no additional imports.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { AccordionModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'



import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { AccordionComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
import { ExpandEventArgs, Accordion, AccordionClickArgs} from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
