type AccordionProps = {
// props
};
export default function Accordion({ content = [] }: AccordionProps) {
const [isCurrentOpen, setIsCurrentOpen] = useState<number | null>(null);
return Array.isArray(content) && content.length > 0 ? (
<div className="container">
{content.map(({ header, content, type }, accordionIndex) => (
<div
key={accordionIndex}
className="accordion"
>
<header
onClick={() =>
setIsCurrentOpen((prev) =>
prev === accordionIndex ? null : accordionIndex
)
}
>
{header}
</header>
<main>{content}</main>
</div>
