# Bootstrap 5 Collapse

Toggle the visibility of content and elements across your project with a few classes and our JavaScript plugins.

> This feature is only available in **AdminKit PRO**. [Learn more](/pricing/).

## Example

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.

```html
<p>
  <a class="btn btn-primary me-2" 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>
</p>
<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
  <div class="card card-body">
    Some placeholder content for the collapse component. This panel is hidden by default but revealed when the user activates the relevant trigger.
  </div>
</div>
```

## Multiple targets

A `<button>` or `<a>` can show and hide multiple elements by referencing them with a selector in its `href` or `data-bs-target` attribute.
Multiple `<button>` or `<a>` can show and hide an element if they each reference it with their `href` or `data-bs-target` attribute.

```html
<p>
  <a class="btn btn-primary me-2" data-bs-toggle="collapse" href="#multiCollapseExample1" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="multiCollapseExample1">Toggle first element</a>
  <button class="btn btn-primary me-2" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#multiCollapseExample2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="multiCollapseExample2">Toggle second element</button>
  <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target=".multi-collapse" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="multiCollapseExample1 multiCollapseExample2">Toggle both elements</button>
</p>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col">
    <div class="collapse multi-collapse" id="multiCollapseExample1">
      <div class="card card-body">
        Some placeholder content for the first collapse component of this multi-collapse example. This panel is hidden by default but revealed when the user activates the relevant trigger.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col">
    <div class="collapse multi-collapse" id="multiCollapseExample2">
      <div class="card card-body">
        Some placeholder content for the second collapse component of this multi-collapse example. This panel is hidden by default but revealed when the user activates the relevant trigger.
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
```

## About

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.
