Add up/down arrows to Bootstrap Accordion

Question

I have a Bootstrap Accordion & I'd like to add state arrows to it.

So the arrows will face down when collapsed and up when expanded.

My current code is here (including Demo): https://jsfiddle.net/m1xj0avo/

Many thanks for any guidance.

$(function () {

    var active = true;

    $('#collapse-init').click(function () {
        if (active) {
            active = false;
            $('.panel-collapse').collapse('show');
            $('.panel-title').attr('data-toggle', '');
            $(this).text('Enable accordion behavior');
        } else {
            active = true;
            $('.panel-collapse').collapse('hide');
            $('.panel-title').attr('data-toggle', 'collapse');
            $(this).text('Disable accordion behavior');
        }
    });
    
    $('#accordion').on('show.bs.collapse', function () {
        if (active) $('#accordion .in').collapse('hide');
    });

});

.panel-title:hover {
     cursor: pointer;
}

There are CSS-only solutions that make use of some of the triggers that Bootstrap's accordion already has in place. For example, an expanded .panel-title has a value of [area-expanded="true"] which we can use as a CSS Selector.

With that in mind you can use code like this:

.panel-title {
  position: relative;
}
  
.panel-title::after {
	content: "\f107";
	color: #333;
	top: -2px;
	right: 0px;
	position: absolute;
    font-family: "FontAwesome"
}

.panel-title[aria-expanded="true"]::after {
	content: "\f106";
}

The carets are applied using Font Awesome and the :after pseudo selector.
