Mirum Show Hide

A module that will collapse and expand a div container. This is usually used for a content where part of the content is hidden with a "read more" button reveals the rest of the content. For terminology, this documentation refers to the element that expands and collapses as the "extra" element since it contains extra content.

The benefit of using this module is you don't have to set a massively high max-height in the CSS. Not using max-height leads to a smoother animation when opening the collapsed element. The module uses the starting height of the "extra" element which is set in the CSS.

Installation

npm install --save-dev show-hide

Usage

In your project import the module. This will usually be your main javascript but can actually be any javascript where it's required.

import showHide from 'show-hide';

By default the module will look for .extra as the selector for the element that is collapsed and .read-more for the element that will trigger .extra to expand. You can overwrite these selectors by passing them when you call the module.

showHide({
    extraSel: '.my-extra',
    buttonSel: '.my-button'
});

The collapsed height of the .extra element is determined by the height value in the css. If for someone reason you need to override this value you can pass the desired starting height like this.

showHide({
    height: 100
});

See the html file in the example folder for a demo of the module.

Accordion

It is possible to use the module as an accordion. If you have multiple elements that expand you can turn on the accordion feature. This results on whichever element is currently expanded to close when you open another one. Set the accordion parameter to true. The default state is false.

showHide({
    accordion: true
});

API

[extraSel = '.extra'] - {string} The selector of the element that will expand and contract
