accordion

An expandable Flutter widget list where each item can be expanded or collapsed simply by clicking on the header.

Simple to use accordion widget with lots of preset properties. Use the maxOpenSections property to automatically close sections when opening a new section. This is especially helpful if you always want your list to look clean -- just set this parameter to 1 and whenever you open a new section the previous one closes. scrollIntoView paramter can be set to fast, slow, or none and makes sure that just opened items will be fully visible. This parameter will only take affect if there are enough items in the list so scrolling is feasible.

Many parameters can be set globally on Accordion as well as individually on each AccordionSection (see list below).

The header consists of the left and right icons (right icon is preset to arrow down). Both can be set globally and individually. As of version 2.1: the headerText, headerTextStyle & headerTextAlign parameters have been removed and should be replaced with the header widget parameter.

The content area basically provides the container in which you drop whatever you want to display when AccordionSection opens. Background and borders can be set globally or individually per section.

Side note: it is possible to nest an Accordion within an AccordionSection
