When to Use
Use for FAQ sections, feature lists, or any collapsible content block where a soft, organic feel fits the brand. Pairs well with white or light-gray backgrounds.
Best Practices
Keep labels short and scannable — under 8 words. The spring physics feel most natural at 3–6 items. For longer lists, consider AccordionFAQBold which handles density better.
Why This Component Matters
Spring-driven height animation makes content feel like it has physical weight. The difference between a CSS transition and a spring is immediately felt — one slides, one breathes.
FAQ
QHow do I change the spring feel?
Adjust stiffness and damping in the AnimatePresence transition. Higher stiffness = snappier, lower damping = more bounce.
QCan I use React nodes as content?
Yes — the content prop accepts React.ReactNode, so you can pass any JSX including buttons, links, and images.
QIs it mobile responsive?
Yes — the max-w-md container scales down naturally. The spring animation performs at 60fps on modern mobile devices.
