 I am currently developing a web-based application using the InterWidget communication framework. I have multiple widgets on a page, and I want to implement an accordion-style Component for displaying collapsible content within one of the widgets. How can I use the “accordion” feature in IWC to achieve this functionality?

In the context of Salesforce, you can Implement an accordion-style Component in IWC by using the following steps:-

Setting up Integration

You should ensure that your web-based application is set up for using IWC for communication between widgets. It may involve THE IWC library and initialization of communication channels.

Create an accordion widget

You can develop a widget that can serve as the accordion Component. This widget should have HTML, CSS, and JavaScript coding for handling the accordion behavior.

Defining accordion structure

Inside the accordion widget, you would need to define the structure of the accordion, including a section or Pannell that can expand and collapse.

Implement accordion functionality

You can write the JavaScript coding for handling the accordion functionality. This would include toggling the visibility the accordion panels when their headers are clicked.

Use IWC for communication

If the accordion is a part of the larger application with multiple widgets, then you can use the IWC for communicating between the accordion widget and other widgets.
