Introduction

dojox/mobile/Accordion is a container widget that can display a group of child panes in a stacked format.

Typically, dojox/mobile/Pane, dojox/mobile/Container, or dojox/mobile/ContentPane are used as child widgets, but Accordion requires no specific child widget. Accordion supports three modes for opening child panes: multiselect, fixed-height, and single-select. Accordion can have rounded corners, and it can lazy-load the content modules.

Parameters for Child Widgets

Child widgets of an Accordion take the following parameters, which are referenced by the Accordion widget.

Parameter Type Default Description
alt String “” An alt text for the icon image.
icon1 String   A path for the collapsed pane’s title bar icon. If icon is not specified, the iconBase parameter of the parent widget is used.
icon2 String   A path for the open pane’s title bar icon. If icon is not specified, the iconBase parameter of the parent widget or icon1 is used.
iconPos1 String   The position of an aggregated collapsed pane’s title bar icon icon. IconPos1 is comma separated values like top,left,width,height (ex. “0,0,29,29”). If iconPos1 is not specified, the iconPos parameter of the parent widget is used.
iconPos2 String   The position of an aggregated open pane’s title bar icon icon. IconPos2 is comma separated values like top,left,width,height (ex. “0,0,29,29”). If iconPos2 is not specified, the iconPos parameter of the parent widget or iconPos1 is used.
selected Boolean false If true, the pane is opened at start up time.
lazy Boolean false If true, the content of the pane, which includes dojo markup, is instantiated lazily. That is, only when the pane is opened by the user, the required modules are loaded and dojo widgets are instantiated. This option works only in the sync loader mode.

Constructor Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
iconBase String “” The default icon path for child widgets. If a child widget does not have its own icon parameter specified, this value is used as its icon path. This parameter is especially useful when all or most of the icons are the same, or you use CSS sprite icons, where you specify an aggregated icon image with this parameter and an icon position for each icon.
iconPos String “” The default icon position for child widgets. This parameter is especially useful when all or most of the icons are the same.
fixedHeight Boolean false If true, the entire accordion widget has fixed height regardless of the height of each pane.
singleOpen Boolean false If true, only one pane is open at a time. The current open pane is collapsed, when another pane is opened.
animation Boolean true If true, animation is used when a pane is opened or collapsed. The animation works only on webkit browsers.

Single open mode

By default, the Accordion widget allows users to open multiple panes at a time. But when you specify “singleOpen:true” property to the Accordion widget, it changes to the single open mode in which you can open only one pane at a time.

Fixed height

You can fix the height of the Accordion widget by specifying the “fixedHeight:true” property as described in the example below. This example also applies the “mblAccordionRoundRect” style class to the Accordion widget to make it have a rounded rectangle shape.

Lazy loading

If you would like to instantiate the widgets inside a child pane lazily, you can do so by specifying “lazy:true” property to the child widget. In this example, the CalendarLite widget is instantiated when you open the child pane first time.

<!-- Need to load the theme files for Accordion and dijit/Calendar -->
<link href="dijit/themes/dijit.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"
        data-dojo-config="mblThemeFiles: ['base','Accordion','dijit.Calendar']"></script>
// No need to add "dijit/CalendarLite" since it's loaded lazily
require([
    "dojox/mobile/parser",
    "dojox/mobile",
    "dojox/mobile/Accordion",
    "dojox/mobile/ContentPane"
]);
<div data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/Accordion">
    <div data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/ContentPane"
         data-dojo-props='label:"Calendar (Lazy)", lazy:true' height="304px">
        <div style="padding:10px">
            <!-- This widget is instantiated lazily -->
            <div data-dojo-type="dijit/CalendarLite"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
