There's a newer version of Bootstrap!

Build vertically collapsing accordions in combination with our Collapse JavaScript plugin.

How it works

The accordion uses collapse internally to make it collapsible. To render an accordion that’s expanded, add the .open class on the .accordion.

The animation effect of this component is dependent on the prefers-reduced-motion media query. See the reduced motion section of our accessibility documentation.

Example

Click the accordions below to expand/collapse the accordion content.

This is the first item's accordion body. It is shown by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables. It's also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the .accordion-body, though the transition does limit overflow.

This is the second item's accordion body. It is hidden by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables. It's also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the .accordion-body, though the transition does limit overflow.

This is the third item's accordion body. It is hidden by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables.

Flush

Add .accordion-flush to remove the default background-color, some borders, and some rounded corners to render accordions edge-to-edge with their parent container.

Nothing more exciting happening here in terms of content, but just filling up the space to make it look, at least at first glance, a bit more representative of how this would look in a real-world application.

CSS

Variables

Added in v5.2.0

As part of Bootstrap’s evolving CSS variables approach, accordions now use local CSS variables on .accordion for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

  --#{$prefix}accordion-color: #{$accordion-color};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-bg: #{$accordion-bg};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-transition: #{$accordion-transition};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-border-color: #{$accordion-border-color};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-border-width: #{$accordion-border-width};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-border-radius: #{$accordion-border-radius};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-inner-border-radius: #{$accordion-inner-border-radius};

  --#{$prefix}accordion-btn-padding-y: #{$accordion-button-padding-y};
  --#{$prefix}accordion-btn-color: #{$accordion-button-color};
