Html – Button Dropdown Feature

I have the following code:

document.querySelector('.rectangle')
  .addEventListener('click', function() {
   this.classList.toggle('expanded');
   const plus = this.querySelector('.plus');
   plus.style.transform = 
this.classList.contains('expanded') ? 'rotate(45deg)' : 'rotate(0)';
});

.tile-container {
  padding: 5px;
  font-size: 25px;
}

.rectangle {
  background-color: #0051a5;
  padding-right: 1em;
  padding-top: 1em;
  cursor: pointer;
  border-radius: 1em;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr auto;
  grid-template-columns: auto 1em;
  grid-template-areas: "sample plus" "extratext extratext";
}

.plus {
  grid-area: plus;
  background: linear-gradient(#0051a5 0 0), linear-gradient(#0051a5 0 0), #fff;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: 60% 2.5px, 2.5px 60%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}

.radius {
  border-radius: 50%;
  width: 1em;
  height: 1em;
  margin-right: 1em;
}

.tile-label {
  grid-area: sample;
  font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-weight: 600;
  color: #fff;
  padding-left: 1em;
  height: 2em;
}

.tile-accent {
  color: #FFC72C;
}

.hidden-text {
  grid-area: extratext;
  display: none;
  font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow', sans-serif;
  font-size: 0.75em;
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
  margin: 1em;
  padding-top: 0.5em;
  padding-left: 1em;
}

.expanded>.hidden-text {
  display: block;
   animation: fade-in 1s;
}
@keyframes fade-in {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

@keyframes fade-out {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
  }
  to {
    opacity: 0;
  }
}

<body>
  <div class="tile-container">
    <div class="rectangle">
      <div class="plus radius"></div>
      <div class="tile-label">
        Sample <span class="tile-accent">Text</span>
      </div>
      <div class="hidden-text">
        <ul>
          <li>Not Dropdown Text</li>
          <li>Dropdown Text</li>
          <li>Not Dropdown Text</li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>

In this code, the "Not Dropdown Text" represents any text which doesn’t have dropdown capabilities; however, "Dropdown Text" refers to a text that can be further expanded to show hidden text.

How can I achieve the dropdown within this dropdown box? When I click the text that has further dropdown capabilities, it should display hidden text inside the box.

    To get a dropdown within the dropdown box, you can try:

    • First, adding a nested dropdown structure inside the .hidden-text
      div.

    • Then, within your CSS, style the nested dropdown to be hidden by
      default and show when clicked.

    • And finally, add an event listener using JavaScript to the nested
      dropdown to toggle its visibility

    One solution is to have a list within your list that has more data.

    I also changed the click handler for the panel itself to the title. This way you can click the elements within the body to open/close.

    document.querySelector('.tile-label')
  .addEventListener('click', function() {
    const _parent = this.parentNode;
    _parent.classList.toggle('expanded');
    const plus = _parent.querySelector('.plus');
    plus.style.transform = _parent.classList.contains('expanded') ? 'rotate(45deg)' : 'rotate(0)';
  });

const toggleChild = (e) => {

  if (e.currentTarget == e.target) {
    const el = e.target;
    el.classList.toggle("active")
  }
}

const level2 = document.querySelectorAll(".hidden-text ul li:has(ul)");

level2.forEach((li) => li.addEventListener("click", toggleChild))
    .tile-container {
  padding: 5px;
  font-size: 25px;
}

.rectangle {
  background-color: #0051a5;
  padding-right: 1em;
  padding-top: 1em;
  border-radius: 1em;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr auto;
  grid-template-columns: auto 1em;
  grid-template-areas: "sample plus" "extratext extratext";
}

.plus {
  grid-area: plus;
  background: linear-gradient(#0051a5 0 0), linear-gradient(#0051a5 0 0), #fff;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: 60% 2.5px, 2.5px 60%;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}

.radius {
  border-radius: 50%;
  width: 1em;
  height: 1em;
  margin-right: 1em;
}

.tile-label {
  grid-area: sample;
  font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-weight: 600;
  color: #fff;
  padding-left: 1em;
  height: 2em;
}

.tile-accent {
  color: #FFC72C;
}

.hidden-text {
  grid-area: extratext;
  display: none;
  font-family: 'PT Sans Narrow', sans-serif;
  font-size: 0.75em;
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
  margin: 1em;
  padding-top: 0.5em;
  padding-left: 1em;
}

.expanded>.hidden-text {
  display: block;
  animation: fade-in 1s;
}

@keyframes fade-in {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

@keyframes fade-out {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
  }
  to {
    opacity: 0;
  }
}


/*Hides the child list be default*/

.hidden-text ul li ul {
  display: none;
}


/*active class toggles the visibility of the sub elements*/

.hidden-text ul li.active ul{
  display: block;
}

li .plus{
  transform:rotate(0);
}

li.active .plus{
  transform:rotate(45deg);
}

/*changes the cursor to a pointer for the list items that have a child ul*/

.hidden-text ul li:has(ul) .plus {
  float:right
}

.hidden-text ul li:has(ul) {
  cursor: pointer;
}
