Use the [data-te-collapse-horizontal] attribute to transition the width instead of height and set a width on the immediate child element.

Multiple targets

Hide multiple elements by referencing them with a selector in its href or data-te-target attribute. Multiple button or a can show and hide an element if they each reference it with their href or data-te-target attribute.

Import

Importing components depends on how your application works. If you intend to use the Tailwind Elements ES format, you must first import the component and then initialize it with the initTE method. If you are going to use the UMD format, just import the tw-elements package.

javascript
umd

ES UMD

        
            
        import { Collapse, initTE } from "tw-elements";
        initTE({ Collapse });

        
            
        import "tw-elements";

Usage

Via data attributes

Just add data-te-collapse-init and a data-te-target to the element to automatically assign control of one or more collapsible elements. The data-te-target attribute accepts a CSS selector to apply the collapse to. For ES format, you must first import and call the initTE method.

        });

        
            
        const collapseElementList = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('[data-te-collapse-item]'))
        const collapseList = collapseElementList.map((collapseEl) => {
          return new te.Collapse(collapseEl, {
            toggle: false,
          });
        });

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-te-, as in data-te-parent="".

Name	Type	Default	Description
`parent`	selector \| jQuery object \| DOM element	`false`	If parent is provided, then all collapsible elements under the specified parent will be closed when this collapsible item is shown. (similar to traditional accordion behavior - this is dependent on the `card` class). The attribute has to be set on the target collapsible area.
`toggle`	boolean	`true`	Toggles the collapsible element on invocation.

Classes

Custom classes can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the class name to data-te-class, as in data-te-class-visible="".

Name	Default	Description
`visible`	!visible	Sets visibility styles to the collapsible element.
`hidden`	hidden	Sets display styles to the collapsible element.
`baseTransition`	overflow-hidden duration-[350ms] ease-[cubic-bezier(0.25,0.1,0.25,1.0)] motion-reduce:transition-none	Sets base transition styles to the collapsible element.
`collapsing`	h-0 transition-[height] overflow-hidden duration-[350ms] ease-[cubic-bezier(0.25,0.1,0.25,1.0)] motion-reduce:transition-none	Sets transition styles to the collapsible element.
`collapsingHorizontal`	w-0 h-auto transition-[width] overflow-hidden duration-[350ms] ease-[cubic-bezier(0.25,0.1,0.25,1.0)] motion-reduce:transition-none	Sets transition styles to the collapsible horizontal element.

Methods

Asynchronous methods and transitions:
All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition. They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started but before it ends. In addition, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored.

Activates your content as a collapsible element. Accepts an optional options object.

You can create a collapse instance with the constructor, for example:

Method	Description	Example
`toggle`	Toggles a collapsible element to shown or hidden. Returns to the caller before the collapsible element has actually been shown or hidden (i.e. before the `shown.te.collapse` or `hidden.te.collapse` event occurs).	`myCollapse.toggle()`
`show`	Shows a collapsible element. Returns to the caller before the collapsible element has actually been shown (e.g., before the `shown.te.collapse` event occurs).	`myCollapse.show()`
`hide`	Hides a collapsible element. Returns to the caller before the collapsible element has actually been hidden (e.g., before the `hidden.te.collapse` event occurs).	`myCollapse.hide()`
`dispose`	Destroys an element's collapse.	`myCollapse.dispose()`
`getInstance`	Static method which allows you to get the alert instance associated to a DOM element.	`Collapse.getInstance()`
`getOrCreateInstance`	Static method which returns an alert instance associated to a DOM element or create a new one in case it wasn't initialized.	`Collapse.getOrCreateInstance()`

javascript

ES UMD

        
                   
        const myCollapseEl = document.getElementById('myCollapse')
        const myCollapse = new Collapse(myCollapseEl)
        myCollapse.show();

        
            
        const myCollapseEl = document.getElementById('myCollapse')
        const myCollapse = new te.Collapse(myCollapseEl)
        myCollapse.show();

Events

Event type	Description
`show.te.collapse`	This event fires immediately when the `show` instance method is called.
`shown.te.collapse`	This event is fired when a collapse element has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).
`hide.te.collapse`	This event is fired immediately when the `hide` method has been called.
`hidden.te.collapse`	This event is fired when a collapse element has been hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).

JavaScript

        
            
        const myCollapseEl = document.getElementById('myCollapse')
        myCollapseEl.addEventListener('hidden.te.collapse', () => {
          // do something...
        });
