    </AccordionItem>
    <AccordionItem value="item-2">

    <AccordionItem value="item-2">

    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>

Multiple items open at the same time

// index.vue
<script setup>
import { AccordionContent, AccordionHeader, AccordionItem, AccordionRoot, AccordionTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
import { Icon } from '@iconify/vue'
import './styles.css'
</script>

<template>
  <AccordionRoot type="single">
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">
      <AccordionHeader>
        <AccordionTrigger class="AccordionTrigger">
          <span>Trigger text</span>
          <Icon icon="radix-icons:chevron-down" class="AccordionChevron" aria-hidden />
        </AccordionTrigger>
      </AccordionHeader>
      <AccordionContent></AccordionContent>
    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.AccordionChevron {
  transition: transform 300ms;
}
.AccordionTrigger[data-state="open"] > .AccordionChevron {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

Horizontal orientation

Use the orientation prop to create a horizontal Accordion

vue
<template>
  <AccordionRoot orientation="horizontal">
    <AccordionItem value="item-1">

    </AccordionItem>
    <AccordionItem value="item-2">

    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>
</template>

Use the --radix-accordion-content-width and/or --radix-accordion-content-height CSS variables to animate the size of the content when it opens/closes:

vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { AccordionContent, AccordionHeader, AccordionItem, AccordionRoot, AccordionTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
import './styles.css'

      <AccordionHeader></AccordionHeader>
      <AccordionContent class="AccordionContent">

      </AccordionContent>
    </AccordionItem>
  </AccordionRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.AccordionContent {
  overflow: hidden;
}
.AccordionContent[data-state="open"] {
  animation: slideDown 300ms ease-out;
}
.AccordionContent[data-state="closed"] {
  animation: slideUp 300ms ease-out;
}

@keyframes slideDown {
  from {
    height: 0;
  }
  to {
    height: var(--radix-accordion-content-height);
