Usage and properties

Reveal supporting details without leaving the page. Apply CSS after the component layer to restyle the documented parts.

Use the installation guide to add blinc_cn and its component stylesheet. Create the fixture bindings once, and return the demo from your UI builder. Values marked Bound accept Signal/Computed sources where the API supports them; structural options configure the component at construction.

Keyboard and interaction

Tab reaches the trigger; Enter or Space opens or closes the content. :focus-visible marks keyboard focus.

Customizing it

Add application CSS after the default component layer. These selectors are the restyling surface for this component:

  • .cn-collapsible
  • .cn-collapsible-content
  • .cn-collapsible-trigger
  • .cn-chevron
  • .cn-collapsible-section
  • .demo-collapsible-copy

Theme and component variables: --primary, --text-primary, --text-secondary, --surface, --border, --radius-default, --duration-fast, --ease-state.

Built-in themes

The Live theme control installs Blinc's own theme bundles, including their colours, focus rings, corner shapes and motion tokens.

pub fn theme_bundle_for(name: &str) -> blinc_theme::ThemeBundle {
    match name {
        "restrained" => blinc_theme::RestrainedTheme::bundle(),
        "expressive" => blinc_theme::ExpressiveTheme::bundle(),
        _ => blinc_theme::HybridTheme::bundle(),
    }
    .with_css(blinc_cn::cn_styles::CN_STYLES)
}

Documentation

From the canonical component guide.

Pass a Signal<bool> to both the trigger and content:

let open = ctx.use_signal(false);

div().flex_col()
    .child(CollapsibleTrigger::new("Show details", open))
    .child(collapsible(open).content(|| {
        div().child(text("Details remain mounted while this section folds."))
    }))

Writing open.set(true) from an event or application callback opens the same section. collapsible_section combines the trigger and body:

let open = ctx.use_signal(false);

collapsible_section("Details", open, || {
    div().child(text("Additional information"))
})

There are no separate collapsible_trigger() or collapsible_content() functions. The parts are .cn-collapsible-trigger, .cn-collapsible-content and .cn-chevron; their data-state is open or closed. CSS sets the closed height and chevron transform, with theme-timed expansion.

Platforms and version

The component API is available in Blinc 0.6.0. The Live example runs in a dedicated worker and requires a compatible GPU surface. Preview and Code remain available when Live cannot start. The canvas has a descriptive label; a full screen-reader DOM mirror is not provided. The gallery integration is based on revision e2e55c24e078.

Recordings and live demos use the default Hybrid theme with bundled Noto Sans. The recording uses a 560 × 320 logical viewport at twice that resolution. Live follows its container and actual display density. Source base revision · Exact build source · Artifact versions and checksums · Font license.
