Radix UI Accordion (Radix styles)Base UI Accordion (base styles)

Installation

npx shadcn@latest add @assistant-ui/accordion

The @assistant-ui namespace resolves the Radix or Base UI flavor from your project's style through the style-aware registry entry in components.json. Without that entry, add by direct URL instead:

npx shadcn@latest add https://r.assistant-ui.com/base/accordion.json

Usage

import {
  Accordion,
  AccordionContent,
  AccordionItem,
  AccordionTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/accordion";

export function Example() {
  return (
    <Accordion defaultValue={["item-1"]}>
      <AccordionItem value="item-1">
        <AccordionTrigger>Section 1</AccordionTrigger>
        <AccordionContent>Content for section 1.</AccordionContent>
      </AccordionItem>
      <AccordionItem value="item-2">
        <AccordionTrigger>Section 2</AccordionTrigger>
        <AccordionContent>Content for section 2.</AccordionContent>
      </AccordionItem>
    </Accordion>
  );
}

Base UI represents the open value as an array and uses the multiple prop. Radix uses type="single" or type="multiple" and represents a single open value as a string.

Examples

Multiple items open

With icons

Add icons or custom content inside the trigger.

Controlled

Use value and onValueChange for controlled accordion state.

This is the overview section content.
