Accordion Template using ReactJS and Tailwind

An Accordion is a component which can show data in form of collapsing and expanding. This is very useful in places where we have less amount of space available and only necessary information is to be provided to the end user. It provides ease of access in displaying data as user is shown only the required data and other components are hidden.

The final feature will look like:

Basic features in an accordion are:

• Title: This contains the information which is always displayed to the user
• Content/Data: This is the information which the user selects to view
• Collapse/Expand: A feature using which user can collapse and expand selected information
• Transition: Smooth transitions during expanding/collapsing which enhances user experience

Prerequisites:

• ReactJS
• Tailwind
• props in React

Approach:

• Set up a basic react project and install the required dependencies.
• Create the basic layout consisting of a Navbar and Welcome slide.
• Style the components using Tailwind.
• Pass the data dynamically in the components and render it on the screen.

Step to create the project

Step 1: Set up the project using the command

 npx create-react-app <<Project_Name>>

Step 2: Navigate to the folder using the command

cd <<Project_Name>>

Step 3: Install the required dependencies using the command

npm install -D tailwindcss

Step 4: Create the tailwind config file using the command

npx tailwindcss init

Step 5: Rewrite the tailwind.config.js file as folllows

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}",
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

Step 6: Create a folder called components in src directory and add the file Accordion.js and Navbar.js
