expander

The expander component is a collapsible element that initially displays a small portion of content, such as a name. Users can tap the arrow, aligned either to the left or right, to expand the component and reveal additional details. The expander is customizable, and the content inside can be configured using components such as forms, lists, or cards. This helps keep screens clean and organized while making additional information easily accessible.
