FAQ Accordion

A realistic frequently-asked-questions accordion: question/answer pairs with roomier region padding, body-sm answer copy, and semantic question text in the trigger (the question IS the button label — no redundant ARIA question roles).

 * DevSnips React Accordion — FAQ variant.
 *
 * Question/answer disclosure: the question is the trigger label (sitting in
 * its `h3` wrapper, so questions stay in the page outline), the answer is
 * the region. Multiple mode lets readers keep answers open side by side;
 * region padding is roomier for reading. No special "FAQ" chrome — the
 * pattern is content, not styling. Shares the entire reference core.

Accordion with Description React Triggers with a title plus a short supporting line via the `description` prop — a muted 13px second row under the title that keeps a clean two-level hierarchy. Useful for documentation and settings sections where the title alone is ambiguous. react / components / accordion / accordion-with-description Accordion React The reference accordion: single-expansion disclosure built from the shared compound primitives — real button triggers in headings, `aria-expanded`/`aria-controls` wiring, grid-rows height animation, and a clean border-divided list treatment. Every other variant in the family is built from these same primitives. react / components / accordion / accordion Multiple Accordion React Multiple-expansion mode: any number of items can stay open at once. `value` and `onValueChange` become `string[]` — the TypeScript types are discriminated by `type="multiple"`, so the compiler enforces the array shape. Includes a controlled demo with external Expand all / Collapse all actions. react / components / accordion / accordion-multiple
