I'm using Bootstrap-vue, and have a simple collapse component such that I can toggle the visibility of the content. I'm looking for a way to include an arrow icon in the toggle button that indicates the collapse state: arrow pointing down if content is opened, arrow pointing sideways if closed.
I have looked at the solution here Bootstrap 4 Collapse show state with Font Awesome icon. However, while this works for Bootstrap 4, I can't make it work with Bootstrap-vue because the markup elements are different. So, given my markup below, how can I achieve the collapse state arrow?
<div>
<b-btn v-b-toggle.collapse3 class="m-1">Toggle Collapse</b-btn>
<b-collapse visible id="collapse3">
<b-card> some content </b-card>
</b-collapse>
</div>
This was my solution in the end, based on Riddhi's answer:
<b-btn block href="#" v-b-toggle.accordion1 variant="secondary">
Time Period
<span class="when-opened">
<font-awesome-icon icon="chevron-down" />
</span>
<span class="when-closed">
<font-awesome-icon icon="chevron-right" />
</span>
</b-btn>
<b-collapse id="accordion1" role="tabpanel">
<!-- some content -->
</b-collapse>
With additional CSS:
<style scoped>
...
.collapsed > .when-opened,
:not(.collapsed) > .when-closed {
display: none;
}
...
</style>
I installed and imported the Font Awesome packages, as described here https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/using-with/vuejs and https://origin.fontawesome.com/how-to-use/with-the-api/setup/importing-icons. The import code, in my main.js file, lookes like this:
import Vue from 'vue'
...
import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import { faChevronRight, faChevronDown } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'
library.add(faChevronRight, faChevronDown);
Vue.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon);
...
