Accordion

The accordion component allows the user to show and hide sections of related content on a page.

An accordion is a lightweight container that may either be used standalone, or be connected to a larger surface, such as a card.

Performance

The content of Accordions is mounted by default even if the accordion is not expanded. This default behavior has server-side rendering and SEO in mind. If you render expensive component trees inside your accordion details or simply render many accordions it might be a good idea to change this default behavior by enabling the unmountOnExit in TransitionProps:

<Accordion TransitionProps={{ unmountOnExit: true }} />

As with any performance optimization this is not a silver bullet. Be sure to identify bottlenecks first and then try out these optimization strategies.

Accessibility

(WAI-ARIA: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/accordion/)

For optimal accessibility we recommend setting id and aria-controls on the AccordionSummary. The Accordion will derive the necessary aria-labelledby and id for the content region of the accordion.
