How it works
The collapse JavaScript plugin is used to show and hide content. Buttons or anchors are used as triggers that are mapped to specific elements you toggle. Collapsing an element will animate the height
from its current value to 0
. Given how CSS handles animations, you cannot use padding
on a .collapse
element. Instead, use the class as an independent wrapping element.
{{< callout info >}} {{< partial "callout-info-prefersreducedmotion.md" >}} {{< /callout >}}
Example
Click the buttons below to show and hide another element via class changes:
.collapse
hides content.collapsing
is applied during transitions.collapse.show
shows content
Generally, we recommend using a button with the data-bs-target
attribute. While not recommended from a semantic point of view, you can also use a link with the href
attribute (and a role="button"
). In both cases, the data-bs-toggle="collapse"
is required.
{{< example >}}
Link with href Button with data-bs-target
Horizontal
The collapse plugin also supports horizontal collapsing. Add the .collapse-horizontal
modifier class to transition the width
instead of height
and set a width
on the immediate child element. Feel free to write your own custom Sass, use inline styles, or use our [width utilities]({{< docsref "/utilities/sizing" >}}).
{{< callout info >}}
Please note that while the example below has a min-height
set to avoid excessive repaints in our docs, this is not explicitly required. Only the width
on the child element is required.
{{< /callout >}}
{{< example >}}
Toggle width collapse
Multiple targets
A <button>
or <a>
can show and hide multiple elements by referencing them with a selector in its href
or data-bs-target
attribute.
Multiple <button>
or <a>
can show and hide an element if they each reference it with their href
or data-bs-target
attribute
{{< example >}}
Toggle first element Toggle second element Toggle both elements
Accessibility
Be sure to add aria-expanded
to the control element. This attribute explicitly conveys the current state of the collapsible element tied to the control to screen readers and similar assistive technologies. If the collapsible element is closed by default, the attribute on the control element should have a value of aria-expanded="false"
. If you've set the collapsible element to be open by default using the show
class, set aria-expanded="true"
on the control instead. The plugin will automatically toggle this attribute on the control based on whether or not the collapsible element has been opened or closed (via JavaScript, or because the user triggered another control element also tied to the same collapsible element). If the control element's HTML element is not a button (e.g., an <a>
or <div>
), the attribute role="button"
should be added to the element.
If your control element is targeting a single collapsible element – i.e. the data-bs-target
attribute is pointing to an id
selector – you should add the aria-controls
attribute to the control element, containing the id
of the collapsible element. Modern screen readers and similar assistive technologies make use of this attribute to provide users with additional shortcuts to navigate directly to the collapsible element itself.
Note that Bootstrap's current implementation does not cover the various optional keyboard interactions described in the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide accordion pattern - you will need to include these yourself with custom JavaScript.
Sass
Variables
{{< scss-docs name="collapse-transition" file="scss/_variables.scss" >}}
Classes
Collapse transition classes can be found in scss/_transitions.scss
as these are shared across multiple components (collapse and accordion).
{{< scss-docs name="collapse-classes" file="scss/_transitions.scss" >}}
Usage
The collapse plugin utilizes a few classes to handle the heavy lifting:
.collapse
hides the content.collapse.show
shows the content.collapsing
is added when the transition starts, and removed when it finishes
These classes can be found in _transitions.scss
.
Via data attributes
Just add data-bs-toggle="collapse"
and a data-bs-target
to the element to automatically assign control of one or more collapsible elements. The data-bs-target
attribute accepts a CSS selector to apply the collapse to. Be sure to add the class collapse
to the collapsible element. If you'd like it to default open, add the additional class show
.
To add accordion-like group management to a collapsible area, add the data attribute data-bs-parent="#selector"
. Refer to the [accordion page]({{< docsref "/components/accordion" >}}) for more information.
Via JavaScript
Enable manually with:
const collapseElementList = document.querySelectorAll('.collapse')
const collapseList = [...collapseElementList].map(collapseEl => new bootstrap.Collapse(collapseEl))
Options
{{< markdown >}} {{< partial "js-data-attributes.md" >}} {{< /markdown >}}
{{< bs-table "table" >}}
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
parent |
selector, DOM element | null |
If parent is provided, then all collapsible elements under the specified parent will be closed when this collapsible item is shown. (similar to traditional accordion behavior - this is dependent on the card class). The attribute has to be set on the target collapsible area. |
toggle |
boolean | true |
Toggles the collapsible element on invocation |
{{< /bs-table >}} |
Methods
{{< callout danger >}} {{< partial "callout-danger-async-methods.md" >}} {{< /callout >}}
Activates your content as a collapsible element. Accepts an optional options object
.
You can create a collapse instance with the constructor, for example:
const bsCollapse = new bootstrap.Collapse('#myCollapse', {
toggle: false
})
{{< bs-table >}}
Method | Description |
---|---|
dispose |
Destroys an element's collapse. (Removes stored data on the DOM element) |
getInstance |
Static method which allows you to get the collapse instance associated to a DOM element, you can use it like this: bootstrap.Collapse.getInstance(element) |
getOrCreateInstance |
Static method which returns a collapse instance associated to a DOM element or create a new one in case it wasn't initialized. You can use it like this: bootstrap.Collapse.getOrCreateInstance(element) |
hide |
Hides a collapsible element. Returns to the caller before the collapsible element has actually been hidden (e.g., before the hidden.bs.collapse event occurs). |
show |
Shows a collapsible element. Returns to the caller before the collapsible element has actually been shown (e.g., before the shown.bs.collapse event occurs). |
toggle |
Toggles a collapsible element to shown or hidden. Returns to the caller before the collapsible element has actually been shown or hidden (i.e. before the shown.bs.collapse or hidden.bs.collapse event occurs). |
{{< /bs-table >}} |
Events
Bootstrap's collapse class exposes a few events for hooking into collapse functionality.
{{< bs-table >}}
Event type | Description |
---|---|
hide.bs.collapse |
This event is fired immediately when the hide method has been called. |
hidden.bs.collapse |
This event is fired when a collapse element has been hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). |
show.bs.collapse |
This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called. |
shown.bs.collapse |
This event is fired when a collapse element has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). |
{{< /bs-table >}} |
const myCollapsible = document.getElementById('myCollapsible')
myCollapsible.addEventListener('hidden.bs.collapse', event => {
// do something...
})
