Overview

There is one type of read more, available for our different modes:

The read more component is only available on:

Positive mode: white and grey2 background colors.
Negative mode: black background color.

States

Default state
State visible before click. Only a small portion of the content is displayed and the chevron is pointing downwards.
Hover/Focused state
State visible when the cursor hovers the label and chevron and triggered by keyboard navigation or click. Cursor becomes a pointer.
Opened state
State visible when clicked. The branch opens, allowing the full content inside to be revealed. "Read more" becomes "Read less" and the chevron is pointing upwards.

Anatomy

Branch
Branch is the full element with label, chevron and a faded preview of the content.
Content
The entire content is revealed once the read more link is clicked.
Label
Allows the user to display the full content of the element.

Content of the label

We strive to keep the consistency of our labels. Please keep "Read more" & "Read less" as is.
Chevron
Informs the user about the state of the read more. Pointing down, the content is collapsed. Pointing up, the content is expanded.
Preview
The user gets to see the beginning of the content before clicking on the read more link. A fading effect let the user know that there is more content than what is shown. The height of the preview can be adapted to your needs.

Responsiveness

Depending on your needs, you can choose to have the read more function only on mobile devices.
