Accordion with Icons and Plus/Minus Toggle for Svelte

Workspace rows with a category icon and a plus that turns into a minus, with Documents open first.

UI library: Ark UI

Documents, Projects, Workspace settings, and Team members each have an icon, and a plus on the right that turns into a minus. Documents starts open.

Use it when both the category and the toggle need to be obvious. For one section, use a Collapsible. In Svelte, Ark UI does not supply the category icon.

FAQ

Where do the category icons come from?

Each item stores FileTextIcon, FolderIcon, SettingsIcon or UsersIcon at size-4, with text-muted-foreground and aria-hidden, in a gap-3 row before the title.

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 is the answer indented?

ps-7 on AccordionContent matches the 16px icon plus the 12px gap-3, so the answer lines up under the title.

Why does Documents start open?

defaultValue={["documents"]} opens Documents 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.
