php - WordPress JavaScript

View Original

I'm trying to achieve a custom option inside the "Publish Metabox" in WordPress admin custom post. And I want to know is there any native way to do expand/collapse divs (Check the below screenshot).

I wonder how WordPress itself achieves it like the below screenshot? (Maybe match the IDs like bootstrap JS libraries do ?).

There is. Wordpress uses the jQuery library on the admin side for interactive elements. In this case, it's just using a simple toggle effect.

Display or hide the matched elements.

$( "button" ).click(function() {
  $( "p" ).toggle();
});

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script>
<button>Toggle</button>
<p style="display:none;">Good Bye</p>
