Collapse

A collase toggles the visibility of content.

How it works

The collapse JavaScript plugin is used to show and hide content. Buttons or anchors are used as triggers that are mapped to specific elements you toggle. Collapsing an element will animate the height from its current value to 0. Given how CSS handles animations, you cannot use padding on a .collapse element. Instead, use the class as an independent wrapping element.

Click the buttons below to show and hide another element via class changes:

  • .collapse hides content
  • .collapsing is applied during transitions
  • .collapse.show shows content

Generally, we recommend using a button with the data-bs-target attribute. While not recommended from a semantic point of view, you can also use a link with the href attribute (and a role="button"). In both cases, the data-bs-toggle="collapse" is required.

Some placeholder content for the collapse component. This panel is hidden by default but revealed when the user activates the relevant trigger.
html 
<a class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExample" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
  Link with href
</a>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
  Button with data-bs-target
</button>

<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
  <div class="card card-body border">
    Some placeholder content for the collapse component. This panel is hidden by default but revealed when the user activates the relevant trigger.
  </div>
</div>

Horizontal

The collapse plugin also supports horizontal collapsing. Add the .collapse-horizontal modifier class to transition the width instead of height and set a width on the immediate child element.

This is some placeholder content for a horizontal collapse. It's hidden by default and shown when triggered.
html 
<p>
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapseWidthExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseWidthExample">
    Toggle width collapse
  </button>
</p>

<div class="collapse collapse-horizontal" id="collapseWidthExample">
  <div class="card card-body border" style="width: 300px;">
    This is some placeholder content for a horizontal collapse. It's hidden by default and shown when triggered.
  </div>
</div>
