Adobe Commerce 2.3 reached end of support in September 2022.

Collapsible widget

The Magento collapsible widget converts a header/content pair into an accordion, where the content is collapsed or expanded on the header click.

Unlike the accordion widget which is initialized for a set of title/contents pairs, the collapsible widget is initialized for one title/content pair.

To “bind” several instances of a collapsible widget, the collateral option is used.

Once it is expanded, the content can be updated using Ajax. The collapsed/expanded state can be saved into local storage, or cookies if the browser does not support local storage.

The collapsible widget source is lib/web/mage/collapsible.js.

Initialize collapsible in JS

Generally the collapsible widget is instantiated like following:

1

$("#element").collapsible();

Where #element is the element’s selector.

If you need to be able to save the expanded/collapsed state, the element must have the id attribute specified.

The element’s id is also used in deep linking: if the id of the content or the id of the element that appends the content is specified as an anchor, the content for that element is automatically expanded.

Similar to the accordion widget, the header, title and content for collapsible can be defined by the child elements’ attributes or passed as widget options. See Accordion widget initialization for details.

Initialize collapsible with header only

You can initialize the collapsible widget without having a container that consists of a header and a content. In this case the initialization is made on the header:

1

$("#header").collapsible();

Initialize collapsible in a template

The collapsible widget can be initialized using the data-mage-init attribute or <script> tag, as described in JavaScript initialization.
