1. Overview

Objectives

igx-Accordion - Angular native accordion widget combining a collection of igx-ExpansionPanels in a vertical layout. It allows the end-user to interact with an overview of data and dig into the details that come with it in an interactive fashion. The igx-Accordion does not overload the user with information making it compact in size and using progressive disclosure to unveil more of it. Its items are templatable out of the box since each of them is an igx-Expansion panel that comes with built-in templating. The igx-Accordion has two interactive modes:

only one igx-ExpansionPanel can be expanded at a time (selecting a collapsed panel would collapse the currently expanded one, while the selected one is expanding at the same time) prototype
multiple igx-ExpansionPanel can be expanded together, which means that only explicit user interaction or use of the API affects the state of the igx-Accordion prototype

Acceptance criteria

Must-have before we can consider the feature a sprint candidate
