Collapsible

A labelled tappable header that toggles visibility of its content.

Android

iOS

Web

Included in Expo Go

Collapsible is a primitive that shows or hides its content with a tap on a labelled header. Controlled via isOpen and onOpenChange — each Collapsible manages independent state.

Usage

Basic collapsible

CollapsibleExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useColorScheme } from 'react-native';
import { Host, Column, Collapsible, Text } from '@expo/ui';

export default function CollapsibleExample() {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  const colorScheme = useColorScheme();
  const ink = { color: colorScheme === 'dark' ? '#FFFFFF' : '#000000' };

  return (
    <Host matchContents={{ vertical: true }} style={{ width: '100%' }}>
      <Column spacing={8} style={{ padding: 16 }}>
        <Collapsible isOpen={open} onOpenChange={setOpen} label="About">
          <Text textStyle={ink}>
            A primitive that toggles visibility of its content via a labelled tappable header.
          </Text>
        </Collapsible>
      </Column>
    </Host>
  );
}

Accordion (one section open at a time)

Wire each Collapsible's isOpen to a shared parent value. The component doesn't enforce exclusivity — composition is up to the consumer.

CollapsibleAccordionExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import { useColorScheme } from 'react-native';
import { Host, Column, Collapsible, Text } from '@expo/ui';

type Section = 'a' | 'b' | 'c' | null;

export default function CollapsibleAccordionExample() {
  const [openSection, setOpenSection] = useState<Section>('a');
  const colorScheme = useColorScheme();
  const ink = { color: colorScheme === 'dark' ? '#FFFFFF' : '#000000' };

  return (
    <Host matchContents={{ vertical: true }} style={{ width: '100%' }}>
      <Column spacing={8} style={{ padding: 16 }}>
        <Collapsible
          isOpen={openSection === 'a'}
          onOpenChange={open => setOpenSection(open ? 'a' : null)}
          label="Section A">
          <Text textStyle={ink}>Opening B or C closes this one.</Text>
        </Collapsible>
        <Collapsible
          isOpen={openSection === 'b'}
          onOpenChange={open => setOpenSection(open ? 'b' : null)}
          label="Section B">
          <Text textStyle={ink}>Opening A or C closes this one.</Text>
        </Collapsible>
        <Collapsible
          isOpen={openSection === 'c'}
          onOpenChange={open => setOpenSection(open ? 'c' : null)}
          label="Section C">
          <Text textStyle={ink}>Opening A or B closes this one.</Text>
        </Collapsible>
      </Column>
    </Host>
  );
}
