| 37 | +## Variables |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Basic Usage |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +The simplest way to use CollapsibleMotion is in uncontrolled mode with default settings: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```jsx-live |
| 44 | +const App = () => { |
| 45 | + return ( |
| 46 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Root defaultExpanded={false}> |
| 47 | + <Button mb={4}>Toggle Content</Button> |
| 48 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 49 | + <Box p={4} bg="gray.50" borderRadius="md"> |
| 50 | + <Text> |
| 51 | + This content will smoothly expand and collapse when the button is clicked. |
| 52 | + The animation uses the default duration of 200ms. |
| 53 | + </Text> |
| 54 | + </Box> |
| 55 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 56 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Root> |
| 57 | + ); |
| 58 | +}; |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### Controlled Mode |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +For more complex scenarios, you can control the expanded state from a parent component: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```jsx-live |
| 66 | +const App = () => { |
| 67 | + const [isExpanded, setIsExpanded] = useState(false); |
| 68 | +
|
| 69 | + return ( |
| 70 | + <div> |
| 71 | + <Button |
| 72 | + onClick={() => setIsExpanded(!isExpanded)} |
| 73 | + mb={4} |
| 74 | + > |
| 75 | + {isExpanded ? 'Collapse' : 'Expand'} Content |
| 76 | + </Button> |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Root |
| 79 | + isExpanded={isExpanded} |
| 80 | + onExpandedChange={setIsExpanded} |
| 81 | + > |
| 82 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 83 | + <Box p={4} bg="blue.50" borderRadius="md"> |
| 84 | + <Text> |
| 85 | + This content is controlled by the parent component's state. |
| 86 | + The parent can react to changes and implement custom logic. |
| 87 | + </Text> |
| 88 | + </Box> |
| 89 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 90 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Root> |
| 91 | + </div> |
| 92 | + ); |
| 93 | +}; |
| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### Custom Animation Settings |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +You can customize the minimum height and animation duration: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +```jsx-live |
| 101 | +const App = () => { |
| 102 | + return ( |
| 103 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Root defaultExpanded={false}> |
| 104 | + <Button mb={4}>Toggle Content</Button> |
| 105 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Content |
| 106 | + minHeight={40} |
| 107 | + animationDuration={500} |
| 108 | + > |
| 109 | + <Box p={6} bg="green.50" borderRadius="md" minH="150px"> |
| 110 | + <Text mb={4}> |
| 111 | + This content has a minimum height of 40px when collapsed |
| 112 | + and uses a slower animation duration of 500ms. |
| 113 | + </Text> |
| 114 | + <Text> |
| 115 | + The minimum height allows for partial visibility of content |
| 116 | + even when collapsed, which can be useful for previews. |
| 117 | + </Text> |
| 118 | + </Box> |
| 119 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 120 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Root> |
| 121 | + ); |
| 122 | +}; |
| 123 | +``` |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +### Dynamic Content |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +CollapsibleMotion automatically handles content that changes size: |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +```jsx-live |
| 130 | +const App = () => { |
| 131 | + const [content, setContent] = useState('short'); |
| 132 | +
|
| 133 | + const contentMap = { |
| 134 | + short: "Short content", |
| 135 | + long: "This is much longer content that demonstrates how the component automatically adjusts to content changes. The component re-measures the content height when it changes and handles the animation smoothly." |
| 136 | + }; |
| 137 | +
|
| 138 | + return ( |
| 139 | + <div> |
| 140 | + <Box mb={4}> |
| 141 | + <Button |
| 142 | + onClick={() => setContent('short')} |
| 143 | + mr={2} |
| 144 | + variant={content === 'short' ? 'solid' : 'outline'} |
| 145 | + size="sm" |
| 146 | + > |
| 147 | + Short |
| 148 | + </Button> |
| 149 | + <Button |
| 150 | + onClick={() => setContent('long')} |
| 151 | + variant={content === 'long' ? 'solid' : 'outline'} |
| 152 | + size="sm" |
| 153 | + > |
| 154 | + Long |
| 155 | + </Button> |
| 156 | + </Box> |
| 157 | +
|
| 158 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Root defaultExpanded={true}> |
| 159 | + <Button mb={4}>Toggle Dynamic Content</Button> |
| 160 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 161 | + <Box p={4} bg="orange.50" borderRadius="md"> |
| 162 | + <Text>{contentMap[content]}</Text> |
| 163 | + </Box> |
| 164 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 165 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Root> |
| 166 | + </div> |
| 167 | + ); |
| 168 | +}; |
| 169 | +``` |
| 170 | + |

| 227 | +}; |
| 228 | +``` |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +## Integration with Other Components |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +CollapsibleMotion works well with other Nimbus components to create rich interactive experiences: |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +```jsx-live |
| 235 | +const App = () => { |
| 236 | + const [expandedSections, setExpandedSections] = useState(new Set()); |
| 237 | +
|
| 238 | + const toggleSection = (section) => { |
| 239 | + const newSections = new Set(expandedSections); |
| 240 | + if (newSections.has(section)) { |
| 241 | + newSections.delete(section); |
| 242 | + } else { |
| 243 | + newSections.add(section); |
| 244 | + } |
| 245 | + setExpandedSections(newSections); |
| 246 | + }; |
| 247 | +
|
| 248 | + return ( |
| 249 | + <Stack spacing={4}> |
| 250 | + {['personal', 'billing', 'preferences'].map(section => ( |
| 251 | + <Box key={section} border="1px solid" borderColor="gray.200" borderRadius="md"> |
| 252 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Root |
| 253 | + isExpanded={expandedSections.has(section)} |
| 254 | + onExpandedChange={() => toggleSection(section)} |
| 255 | + > |
| 256 | + <Button |
| 257 | + w="full" |
| 258 | + variant="ghost" |
| 259 | + justifyContent="space-between" |
| 260 | + p={4} |
| 261 | + rightIcon={expandedSections.has(section) ? '−' : '+'} |
| 262 | + > |
| 263 | + {section.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + section.slice(1)} Information |
| 264 | + </Button> |
| 265 | +
|
| 266 | + <CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 267 | + <Box p={4} borderTop="1px solid" borderColor="gray.200"> |
| 268 | + <Text> |
| 269 | + Content for {section} section. This demonstrates how |
| 270 | + CollapsibleMotion can be integrated with other components |
| 271 | + to create accordion-like interfaces. |
| 272 | + </Text> |
| 273 | + </Box> |
| 274 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Content> |
| 275 | + </CollapsibleMotion.Root> |
| 276 | + </Box> |
| 277 | + ))} |
| 278 | + </Stack> |
| 279 | + ); |

| 289 | +## Best Practices |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +### Performance |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +- **Content Measurement**: The component automatically measures content height, but avoid deeply nested or complex layouts within collapsible content when possible |
| 294 | +- **Animation Duration**: Use reasonable animation durations (100-500ms) to balance smoothness with perceived performance |
| 295 | +- **Dynamic Content**: The component handles content changes efficiently, but minimize frequent content updates during animations |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +### Accessibility |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +- **Trigger Elements**: Always provide clear, descriptive trigger buttons or elements |
| 300 | +- **Content Structure**: Use semantic HTML within collapsible content |
| 301 | +- **Focus Indicators**: Ensure trigger elements have clear focus indicators |
| 302 | +- **Screen Reader Testing**: Test with actual screen readers to verify the experience |
| 303 | + |
| 304 | +### Styling |
| 305 | + |
| 306 | +- **Consistent Animations**: Use consistent animation durations across your application |
| 307 | +- **Visual Feedback**: Provide clear visual feedback for expanded/collapsed states |
| 308 | +- **Responsive Design**: Consider how collapsible content behaves on different screen sizes |
| 309 | + |
| 310 | +## Related Components |
| 311 | + |
| 312 | +- **Accordion**: For managing multiple collapsible sections |
| 313 | +- **Disclosure**: For simpler show/hide functionality without animations |
| 314 | +- **Modal**: For larger content that should overlay the page |
| 315 | +- **Drawer**: For slide-out content panels |
