Description
This PR introduces a collapsible/expandable description component (
CollapsibleDescription) used in the record components (RecordsResultsListItem). This is an alternative to the static truncated description, and it presents a toggleable arrow UI element to show and collapse the text.I noticed that on the Invenio search results page, users often need to navigate to the record details page just to read the full description. Now users can read full descriptions inline, improving discoverability and overall UX. I set up a local development environment to validate this change.
Below is a short video showing the final behavior:
I can extend this PR with tests and extended documentation depending on the maintainers’ feedback.
Thanks in advance for your time and feedback! ❤️
