React Accordion API

The Accordion widget contains several panels displayed one under another. These panels can be collapsed or expanded by an end user, which makes this widget very useful for presenting information in a limited amount of space.

import Accordion from "devextreme-react/accordion"

Type: AccordionTypes.default

DevExtreme widgets are integrated with many popular libraries and frameworks. See the Installation section (for JavaScript libraries) or the Prerequisites and Installation section (for ASP.NET MVC framework) to find details on setting up DevExtreme with a particular library or framework.

The following code shows how to create the Accordion widget using every supported library and framework. For more details on working with widgets in these libraries and frameworks, see the Widget Basics topic for jQuery, Angular, AngularJS, Knockout or ASP.NET MVC.
