How to keep the current Accordion active on page refresh in Bootstrap


I have following code of Accordion. The code is working fine. I want to keep the selected tab active on page refresh. But the javascript I have added is not working. I am not getting as to what is the exact problem.

<div class="accordion" id="accordionExample">
  <div class="card">
    <div class="card-header" id="headingOne">
      <h2 class="mb-0">
        <button class="btn btn-link" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOne" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseOne">
          Collapsible Group Item #1
        </button>
      </h2>
    </div>

    <div id="collapseOne" class="collapse show" aria-labelledby="headingOne" data-parent="#accordionExample">
      <div class="card-body">

  <div class="card">

        </button>
      </h2>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseTwo" class="collapse" aria-labelledby="headingTwo" data-parent="#accordionExample">

Javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('button[data-toggle="collapse"]').on('shown.bs.collapse', function(e) {
        localStorage.setItem('activeTab', $(e.target).attr('data-target'));
    });
    var activeTab = localStorage.getItem('activeTab');
    if(activeTab){
        $('#accordionExample button[data-target="' + activeTab + '"]').collapse('show');
    }
});
</script>

Solution

  • First you add the id (which div you want to show) into session. Then after reload you just get the session. and show the current div by js. Here is my code to do this.

    $(document).ready(function() {
      // Get saved data from sessionStorage
      let selectedCollapse = sessionStorage.getItem('selectedCollapse');
      if(selectedCollapse != null) {
        $('.accordion .collapse').removeClass('show');
        $(selectedCollapse).addClass('show');
      }
      //To set, which one will be opened
      $('.accordion .btn-link').on('click', function(){ 
        let target = $(this).data('target');
        //Save data to sessionStorage
        sessionStorage.setItem('selectedCollapse', target);
      });
    });
    

    Note that, Based on your code I think you used bootstrap and jquery. You must need the jquery at least to perform the above actions.

    I don't know if this is the right way or not, but it will work somehow.
