Developing a component that limits the display of text to the first 40 characters, but can show the full description when a Chevron click event is triggered. The goal is to have the content expand in a similar fashion as it currently does with the Accordion component, increasing its height to fit the additional content. Any advice on how to improve this concept would be greatly appreciated!
// @flow
import styled from "styled-components";
import chevron from "../Assets/chevron-icon.svg";
type Props = { attribute: AttributeType, className?: string };
const Accordion = styled.div`
background-color: #e5e9eb;
height: 56px;
width: 612px;
border-radius: 2px;
border: 1px solid #27282a;
margin-bottom: 48px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
span {
padding-left: 24px;
}
`;
const Chevron = styled.img`
height: 40px;
width: 40px;
float: right;
margin-right: 12px;
`;
const ExpandableString = ({ attribute, className }: Props) => {
const fullDescription = attribute.readonlyvalue;
const shortHeading = fullDescription.substring(0, 40) + '...';
let isExpanded = false;
function toggleContent() {
isExpanded = true;
}
return (
<Accordion className={className}>
<span>{shortHeading}</span>
<Chevron onClick={toggleContent} src={chevron} alt="Expand or collapse content" />
</Accordion>
);
};
export default ExpandableString;
