adapt-contrib-accordion

Accordion is a presentation component bundled with the Adapt framework.

The component displays a vertically stacked list of headings. Each heading is associated with a collapsible content panel. Clicking a heading toggles the visibility of its content panel. Content panels may contain text and/or an image.

Visit the Accordion wiki for more information about its functionality and for explanations of key properties.

Installation

As one of Adapt's core components, Accordion is included with the installation of the Adapt framework and the installation of the Adapt authoring tool.

• If Accordion has been uninstalled from the Adapt framework, it may be reinstalled. With the Adapt CLI installed, run the following from the command line: adapt install adapt-contrib-accordion

  Alternatively, this component can also be installed by adding the following line of code to the adapt.json file: "adapt-contrib-accordion": "*" Then running the command: adapt install (This second method will reinstall all plug-ins listed in adapt.json.)

• If Accordion has been uninstalled from the Adapt authoring tool, it may be reinstalled using the Plug-in Manager.
