Last Updated : 30 May, 2022

jQuery UI consists of GUI widgets, visual effects, and themes implemented using HTML, CSS, and jQuery. jQuery UI is great for building UI interfaces for the webpages. The jQuery UI Accordion Widget can be used for the conversion of pairs of header & content panels into an accordion.

The jQuery UI Accordion create event is used to trigger when the accordion is created. If an accordion widget is collapsed, then the ui.header and ui.panel will be empty objects. The Accordion create event accepts 2 values that are listed below:

event: It represents the event for the slider widget.
ui: It is of an object type, and contains the following values:
- header: It represents the active header.
- panel: It represents the active panel.

Syntax:

Initialize the accordion with the create callback:

$( ".selector" ).accordion({
     create: function( event, ui ) {}
});

Bind an event listener to the accordioncreate event:

$( ".selector" ).on( 
    "accordioncreate", 
    function( event, ui ) {} 
);
