Ever notice how file explorers put expand icons on the left? That's because your eye hits the action before the label. This React multi-level accordion mirrors that pattern with left-aligned plus/minus toggles from Lucide React. Built with shadcn/ui and Radix UI, it feels instantly familiar—perfect for sidebar navigation or file tree interfaces where the expand action is paramount.
