Accordion Form with Plus/Minus Toggle for Vue

The same personal, contact, and address form, with a plus on each section that turns into a minus.

UI library: Ark UI

Personal Information, Contact Information, and Address Information, each with an icon and a plus that turns into a minus. Typed values stay when you switch sections.

Use it when the toggle should be obvious on a long form. If every section must stay visible, stack them in a Card. In Vue, Ark UI does not submit the form.

FAQ

Do the fields keep what I typed after I close a section?

Yes. Pass :unmount-on-exit="false" on Accordion, so a closed section stays in the DOM and the uncontrolled inputs keep their text.

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.

Are the section icons separate from the plus and minus?

UserIcon, MailIcon or MapPinIcon sits in a gap-2 row before the title, at size-4 with aria-hidden. The plus and minus are a second icon box, pushed to the end of the trigger with justify-between.

How are the inputs labeled?

Each Input gets type, placeholder and aria-label from its field. Name and address fields use type="text", email uses type="email", and phone uses type="tel". There is no visible label, so the aria-label is the field name.

How is the stack of inputs spaced?

AccordionContent uses flex flex-col gap-2 pt-1. Personal has two name fields, contact has email and phone, and address has street, city, state and zip.

How do I let several sections 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.
