Accordion with Plus/Minus Toggle for React

A billing FAQ with a plus on the right of each question. The payment-methods question starts open.

Four billing questions in a bordered stack. A plus on the right turns into a minus while the answer is open. Which payment methods do you accept? starts open.

Use it when a chevron is too easy to miss. One question on its own can be a Collapsible. In React, Base UI does not draw this plus for you.

FAQ

How does the plus turn into a minus?

**:data-[slot=accordion-trigger-icon]:hidden on AccordionTrigger hides the built-in chevron. PlusIcon and MinusIcon share one relative size-4 box, and group-aria-expanded/accordion-trigger fades the plus out and the minus in over duration-200. Both icons are aria-hidden and text-muted-foreground.

Why does the payment question start open?

defaultValue={["payment"]} opens the payment question on first render. The string matches that item's value.

How do I let several items stay open at once?

One open item is the default. Add multiple to Accordion to let several stay open, and list every item that should start open in the defaultValue array.

How do the row borders meet?

-space-y-px on Accordion pulls the rows together so neighboring borders share one line. Each AccordionItem has border, px-4, first:rounded-t-lg and last:rounded-b-lg.

How is the title kept beside the icon?

The trigger row is flex w-full items-center justify-between gap-3. The title has text-start, and the icon box is shrink-0.

Is keyboard navigation built in?

Yes. Each trigger is a button with aria-expanded and aria-controls, and Enter or Space toggles it. The arrow keys move between triggers, and Home and End jump to the first and last.
