  border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
  :before {
    content: '';
   position: absolute;
   left: 0px;
   top: 0px;
   width: 0;
   height: 0;
   border-left: 20px solid transparent;
   border-right: 20px solid transparent;
   border-top: 20px solid #000;
   clear: both;

I'm using css in JS with emotion JS, but the problem is basically just CSS I used ::after and border, but I don't know how I could turn it around like in the example photo

Solution

  • Ok so, I got it working but there is few things:

    • ClosedStyled, should have display property manipulated instead of width and height, once the user hover it should be display:block, otherwise it should be display:none.
    • ClosedStyled overflow is the root cause for the issue, just remove it and you will be able to see the arrow

    Here is a codesandbox

    or you can see the changed code here:
