Accordion behaviour for hierarchical checkbox facet

open

It would be nice if hierarchical checkbox facets would behave like an accordion instead of a toggle for each item separately. Now, if you click on a parent item, the children open. Then if you click on another parent item also those children open too. The list can get very long and it requires the user to make multiple clicks to contract all child lists again.

It would be nice if a click to expand, contracts all the others.

Maybe this behaviour could be optional.

@remco Did you ever get anything like this to work?

@zackpyle Yes I did, with some custom coding. Here is a gif:

@remco Cool. Mind sharing and save me some time writing it myself?

Hi Zack, I see you also contacted support.

I extracted this code from my site: https://snippi.com/s/i5t81z7

The "contracted" class that is toggled is for the CSS of the plus and minus signs in above gif.

Not sure if this is a full working example, did not test it, but I hope it gets you on the way.
