I have been exploring the potential of Bootstrap's collapse feature to implement a 'Show More' button on a webpage I am developing. The objective is to reveal more or hide the body text within a card description when the button is clicked.
The challenge arises from the fact that the content on the page is dynamically generated, creating uncertainty about how to integrate collapsible elements in this context. To make it work, I need to establish a connection between the button and the content that needs to be collapsed and expanded.
Although I consulted the Bootstrap documentation on handling collapsing elements, my attempts did not deliver the desired outcome likely due to the dynamic nature of my content creation process.
Here is an excerpt of the HTML:
<pre><code>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-
scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-ggOyR0iXCbMQv3Xipma34MD+dH/1fQ784/j6cY/iJTQUOhcWr7x9JvoRxT2MZw1T" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="carsStyling.css">
<title>Weyland's Cars</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>Welcome to Weyland's Cars</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="card-space" class="row">
</div>
<script src="cars.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Furthermore, consider the JavaScript snippet below for generating car cards with collapsible text sections:
let cars = [];
function carCreator(make, model, colour, image, registrationNumber, price) {
this.make = make;
this.model = model;
this.colour = colour;
this.image = image;
this.registrationNumber = registrationNumber;
this.price = price;
cars.push(this);
}
// Car instances
...
// Dynamically create card elements
cars.forEach(car => {
// Card creation logic here
})
