Is there any way in which I can expand a particular mat-expansion-panel by clicking an external button?
I have tried linking to the ID of the panel, but with no success...
<mat-expansion-panel id="panel1"> ... </>
...
<button (click)="document.getElementById('panel1').toggle()>Click me</button>
Here is my stackblitz code for example
My eventual plan is to use this method to open different panels within a list generated from an array: <mat-expansion-panel *ngFor="let d of data"> ...
In your html file:
<mat-expansion-panel [expanded]="panelOpenState">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<mat-panel-title>
TITLE
</mat-panel-title>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<p>BODY</p>
</mat-expansion-panel>
<button mat-raised-button (click)="togglePanel">TOGGLE</button>
In your TS file:
panelOpenState: boolean = false;
togglePanel() {
this.panelOpenState = !this.panelOpenState
}
If you use *ngFor to generate the expansion panels:
<mat-expansion-panel [expanded]="isOpen" *ngFor="let d of data">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
{{ d.header }}
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<p>{{ d.content }}</p>
</mat-expansion-panel>
<button mat-raised-button (click)="togglePanel">TOGGLE</button>
If you press the button all of the expanded panels opens simultaneously.
To open only one panel with one button, add a "expanded" property to the data array for each element like this:
data = [
{id:1, header:'HEADER 1', content:'CONTENT 1', expanded: false},
{id:2, header:'HEADER 2', content:'CONTENT 2', expanded: false},
{id:3, header:'HEADER 3', content:'CONTENT 3', expanded: false},
{id:4, header:'HEADER 4', content:'CONTENT 4', expanded: false},
]
Then in your template:
<mat-expansion-panel [(ngModel)]="d.expanded"
[expanded]="d.expanded" *ngFor="let d of data" ngDefaultControl>
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<button (click)="toggle(d.expanded)">TOGGLE</button>
{{ d.header }}
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<p>{{ d.content }}</p>
</mat-expansion-panel>
And the method raised by the button click:
toggle(expanded) {
expanded = !expanded;
}
<mat-expansion-panel [disabled]="true"
#mep="matExpansionPanel"
*ngFor="let foo of list">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<button (click)="mep.expanded = !mep.expanded">Toggle</button>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<p>Text</p>
</mat-expansion-panel>
Use two-way binding on the expanded attribute of mat-expansion-panel. Here is an example live in StackBlitz:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-gtsqg8
<button (click)='xpandStatus=xpandStatus?false:true'>Toggle it</button>
<p>
<mat-expansion-panel [(expanded)]="xpandStatus">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<mat-panel-title>This an expansion panel</mat-panel-title>
<mat-panel-description>xpandStatus is {{xpandStatus}}</mat-panel-description>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
Two-way binding on the expanded attribute gives us a way to store and manipulate the expansion status.
</mat-expansion-panel>
</p>
You can use the method toggle().
First give the element an id.
<mat-expansion-panel #matExpansionPanel>Next, access the element from javascript. Import necessary libraries (MatExpansionPanel, ViewChild)
@ViewChild(MatExpansionPanel, {static: true}) matExpansionPanelElement: MatExpansionPanel;Lastly, call the toggle function
this.matExpansionPanelElement.toggle(); //open(), close()<mat-nav-list>
<mat-expansion-panel *ngFor="let row of rows" #mep="matExpansionPanel">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
{{row}}
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<h2>Test</h2>
<button (click)="mep.toggle()">Toggle</button>
</mat-expansion-panel>
</mat-nav-list>

</span>
<span (click)="dClicked(d)" class="mat-cell">{{d.dataSet}}</span>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<div><pre>{{d | json}}</pre></div>
</mat-expansion-panel>
<div class="well" *ngIf="!d || d.length == 0">
<p>There are no d for this.</p>
</div>
</mat-accordion>
html:
<mat-accordion >
<mat-expansion-panel #first="matExpansionPanel">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<mat-panel-title>...</mat-panel-title>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
...
</mat-expansion-panel>
<mat-expansion-panel #second="matExpansionPanel" expanded="true">
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<mat-panel-title>...</mat-panel-title>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
...
</mat-expansion-panel>
</mat-accordion>
<button (click)="doSomething(first, second)">Click</button>
ts:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MatExpansionPanel } from '@angular/material';
@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: './home.component.html'
})
export class HomeComponent {
doSomething(first: MatExpansionPanel, second: MatExpansionPanel) {
if (first.expanded ) { // check if first panel is expanded
first.close(); // close first panel
second.open(); // open second panel
// ...
}
}
}
Another way is to prevent the click event from propagating.
<mat-accordion class="example-headers-align" multi>
<mat-expansion-panel>
<mat-expansion-panel-header>
<div class="my-panel" (click)="$event.stopPropagation();">
<h3>Panel Header</h3>
<button mat-stroked-button (click)="myButton()">my button</button>
</div>
</mat-expansion-panel-header>
<div>My panel content!</div>
</mat-expansion-panel>
</mat-accordion>
