Harness the dynamic nature of Bootstrap Collapse component! 

This Javascript plugin allows you to hide and show content by toggling the visibility of elements based on a trigger.

Create dynamic accordions, interactive dropdowns and transform your menus from static to stunning in 2 steps!

Getting Started with Bootstrap Collapse!

This is your first step to BS Collapse success!

Create a <div> container that triggers the execution of the component’s functions by using these attributes:

class=”collapsed” – It indicates that the collapsed class will manage the element’s behavior, enabling it to communicate with the BS library and execute the properties.

data-toggle=”collapse” – It specifies that the element’s type is collapsible. 

href=”#item-1″ – It establishes the ID of the element that will show/hide when clicking. 

aria-expanded=”true”– It indicates that the element will be expanded and collapsed.

Taking Bootstrap Collapse to the Next Level!

It’s time to take your second step to Bootstrap Collapse success!

Create the second element. This will be the element that shows and hides. 

You can use any type of tag, as long as it adheres to these attributes:

class=”collapse” 

id=”item-1″ – The identifier must match the one in the parent container. 

Based on these two steps, you can create as many items as you wish.
