What is a CSS-driven accordion?
This is a vertically stacked set of interactive panels, with only one open at a time. This component uses a pure CSS approach for smooth transitions and visual effects, managed by React state.
How does it work?
It's css based animation. The expansion effect uses grid-template-rows to animate the height of the content. Using TailwindCSS and it counts! You can do a lot with TailwindCSS these days.
Why use this approach?
This method leverages React's component-based architecture for clear state control, while offloading the animation work to CSS transitions for optimal performance and smoother visuals.
What about accessibility?
This component is fully accessible. It uses the aria-expanded attribute to indicate the current state of the accordion item. It also uses the aria-controls attribute to associate the accordion item with the content.
