Details Component: Default

The Details component converts a section of content into a collapsible accordion, turning each heading into a control to expand or collapse all the content that comes after it. This simulates the functionality of the native <details> element, but can apply to any element.

Usage

Import using Webpack as an ES module:

import MzpDetails from '@mozilla-protocol/core/protocol/js/details';

Import using Webpack as CommonJS:

const MzpDetails = require('@mozilla-protocol/core/protocol/js/details');

Import as a global variable via a <script> tag:

const MzpDetails = window.MzpDetails;

Then initialize the component:

// check if details is supported, if not, init this as a polyfill
if (typeof window.MzpSupports !== 'undefined') {
    // not supported, add support
    if(!window.MzpSupports.details) {
        window.MzpDetails.init('summary');
    }
}

// init generic class indicating headings should be made into open/close component
window.MzpDetails.init('.mzp-c-details > h2');
window.MzpDetails.init('.mzp-c-details > h3');
window.MzpDetails.init('.mzp-c-details > h4');
window.MzpDetails.init('.mzp-c-details > h5');
window.MzpDetails.init('.mzp-c-details > h6');

Dependencies

The Details component depends on both the MzpSupports and MzpUtils libraries for feature detection and DOM traversal. It is recommended that both are included in your page and accessible via a global object before loading your Details component script.

import MzpSupports from '@mozilla-protocol/core/protocol/js/supports';
import MzpUtils from '@mozilla-protocol/core/protocol/js/utils';

window.MzpSupports = MzpSupports;
window.MzpUtils = MzpUtils;

Tips

  • Make sure to initialize the component after the DOM has loaded.
  • Only collapses headings highest in the hierarchy. E.g., if the highest ranked heading is <h3>, all <h3>s will be converted and the content between them will be collapsed.
  • Assumes all content following a heading is intended to be hidden.
<section class="mzp-c-details">
    <h3>Heading One</h3>

        neque ipsum. Nunc ligula eros, elementum sit amet blandit eu, egestas at
