if (expandable.opened) {

Listening for Changes

const expandable = document.querySelector('a-expandable');

expandable.addEventListener('change', (event) => {
  console.log('Expanded:', event.target.opened);
});

Styling

The expandable uses CSS Grid for smooth height animations. Customise timing with CSS custom properties:

a-expandable {
  --transition-speed: 0.33s;
  --animation-easing: ease;
}

/* Faster animation */
a-expandable.fast {
  --transition-speed: 0.15s;
}

/* Slower, more dramatic */
a-expandable.slow {
  --transition-speed: 0.5s;
  --animation-easing: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
}

Styling the Toggle

a-expandable [slot="toggle"] {
  cursor: pointer;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
}

/* Rotate icon when opened */
a-expandable[opened] [slot="toggle"] .icon {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

Accessibility

  • ARIA Attributes: Automatically sets aria-expanded on the toggle and aria-labelledby on the content region.
  • Keyboard Support: Toggle responds to Enter and Space keys when focused.
  • Focus Management: Focusable elements inside collapsed content are removed from tab order.
  • Anchor Links: When a URL hash matches an element inside the expandable, it automatically opens to reveal the content.
  • Scroll Into View: When opened or closed, the expandable scrolls into view to prevent content from shifting off-screen.
  • Hidden Until Found: Uses hidden="until-found" for browser find-in-page support (where available).
