2 May 20238 minutes to read
Accordion items can be added dynamically by passing the item and index value with the addItem method.
In the following demo, new items are added dynamically when you expand an Accordion header using expanded event.

headerandcontentfields. -
Here last index is calculated to append the new Accordion item at the end and the number of items are limited to 10, since the data bound have only 10 items.
ej.base.enableRipple(true);
//Initialize Accordion component
var dbFlag = 0;
var dynamciAcrdnCount = 2;
var accordionData = [
