Declare Dependency on the angAccordion Module: 

Next, declare a dependency on the angAccordion module within your AngularJS application:

var app = angular.module('app', ['angAccordion']);

Alternatively, if you’re using ES2015+:

import ngAccordion from 'ang-accordion';

angular.module('app', [ngAccordion]);

HTML Markup

    <collapsible-item item-title="Some Heading">

        <div>This is regular html code</div>

    </collapsible-item>

    ... <!-- More collapsible items -->

</ang-accordion>

  • Enable Single Expansion: By default, all collapsible items open and close independently of each other. To ensure that only one collapsible item opens at a time, implement the following option:
<ang-accordion one-at-a-time="true">

    ...

</ang-accordion>
  • Configure Collapsible Item to Initially Open: Utilize this option if you wish for the collapsible item to be open upon initial rendering on the page.
<collapsible-item item-title="Heading 1" initially-open="true">

    ...

</collapsible-item>
  • Customize Icon Placement and Appearance: Easily incorporate icons to represent open and collapsed states for collapsible items. You can also specify the position of the icon (default is right).
<ang-accordion icon-position="left" close-icon-url="../img/right-icon.png" open-icon-url="../img/down-icon.png">

    ...

</ang-accordion>

Enhance Title Icons with Bootstrap Glyphicons or Other Font Icons: Employ Bootstrap Glyphicons or any other preferred font icons to embellish titles with visually appealing icons.

<ang-accordion close-icon-class="fa fa-chevron-right" open-icon-class="fa fa-chevron-down">

    ...

</ang-accordion>
  • Enabling/Disabling Collapsible Items: You have the option to disable a collapsible item, preventing users from opening it.
<collapsible-item item-title="Heading 1" item-disabled="true">

    ...

</collapsible-item>
