# Disclosure
A renderless component which can be used to implement an aria Disclosure pattern.
The disclosure exports an Action component already configured for use as a
clickable action. But if you want to contruct your own trigger, disclosure has
all the properties to enable you to do so.
You should make use of the `disclosure.Details` property in order control the
disclosure of the disclosure's content. By default it will automatically do
this for you. But if you need to control this yourself you can make use of the
`@auto` argument (see below for details).
You can use multiple `Details` components which lets you control multiple
areas with a single trigger/button.
Clicking outside will not close the disclosure by default, if you require this
functionality please combine with our `{{on-outside 'click'}}` modifier (see example).
By default, there are no aria attributes that you need to add or think about
as a consumer of the component, but you **should** make use of the
`details.id` property to set the `id=""` on the DOM element you are
disclosing. Every `Details` component has its `id` added to the `Action`
`aria-controls` attribute by default so you don't need to do this yourself if
using the `Details` component.
```hbs preview-template
{{if disclosure.expanded "Close" "Open"}}
Disclose Me!
```
You can also use multiple Details components for a single Discloure Action component to control multiple areas.
```hbs preview-template
{{if disclosure.expanded "Close" "Open"}}
Disclose Me!
Disclose Me also!
```
Or use two buttons/Actions to control one Detail (or multiple Details).
```hbs preview-template
```
If you don't want to use the automatic hiding/showing (and therefore removal from the DOM) of the Details component, you can pass a `@auto={{false}}` argument to the Details component, which allows you to either specify a Handlebars conditional yourself or use CSS to hide/show the content to be disclosed.
**Please note:** We use a `style` attribute here just for illustrative purposes, you should consider using a `class` attribute instead if you want to use CSS for disclosure.
```hbs preview-template
{{if disclosure.expanded "Close" "Open"}}
{{#if details.expanded}}
Disclose Me with a hbs conditional!
{{/if}}
Disclose Me via CSS!
```
By making use of `@auto={{false}}` and hand-rolling your show/hide logic you
can use disclosure to implement slightly more complex UI.
```hbs preview-template
{{if disclosure.expanded "Close" "Open"}}
Disclose Me!
{{#if (not details.expanded)}}
Disclose Me by default but hide when the other details is disclosed!
{{/if}}
```
