Answer 1

For Bootstrup 3.2 + FontAwesome

$(document).ready(function(){    
    $('#accordProfile').on('shown.bs.collapse', function () {
       $(".fa-chevron-down").removeClass("fa-chevron-down").addClass("fa-chevron-up");
    });

    $('#accordProfile').on('hidden.bs.collapse', function () {
       $(".fa-chevron-up").removeClass("fa-chevron-up").addClass("fa-chevron-down");
    });
});

Sometimes you have to write so. If so

$('.collapsed span').removeClass('fa-minus').addClass('fa-plus');

Automatically generated (class="collapsed"), when you press the hide menu.

ps when you need to create a tree menu

Answer 2

If anyone is interested this is how you do it with BS3 since they changed the event names:

$('.collapse').on('show.bs.collapse', function(){
  var i = $(this).parent().find('i')
  i.toggleClass('fa-caret-right fa-caret-down');
}).on('hide.bs.collapse', function(){
  var i = $(this).parent().find('i')
  i.toggleClass('fa-caret-down fa-caret-right');
});

You simply change the class names in the example to the ones you use in your case.

Answer 3

Here is a solution that creates a section that is expandable using somewhat material design, bootstrap 4.5/5 alpha and entirely non-javascript.

Style for head section

<style>
[data-toggle="collapse"] .fa:before {
    content: "\f077";
}

[data-toggle="collapse"].collapsed .fa:before {
    content: "\f078";
}
</style>

Body html

<div class="pt-3 pb-3" style="border-top: 1px solid #eeeeee; border-bottom: 1px solid #eeeeee; cursor: pointer;">
<a href="#expandId" class="text-dark float-right collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="expandId">
    <i class="fa" aria-hidden="false"></i>
</a>
<a href="#expandId" class="text-dark collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="expandId">Expand Header</a>
<div class="collapse" id="expandId">
    CONTENT GOES IN HERE
</div>

Answer 4

Use CSSes pseudo-selector :after using Bootstrap 3's integrated Glyphicons for a no JS answer with minor modification to your HTML...

CSS

.panel-heading [data-toggle="collapse"]:after
{
    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    content: "\e072"; /* "play" icon */
    float: right;
    color: #b0c5d8;
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 22px;

    /* rotate "play" icon from > (right arrow) to down arrow */
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-90deg);
    -moz-transform:    rotate(-90deg);
    -ms-transform:     rotate(-90deg);
    -o-transform:      rotate(-90deg);
    transform:         rotate(-90deg);
}
.panel-heading [data-toggle="collapse"].collapsed:after
{
    /* rotate "play" icon from > (right arrow) to ^ (up arrow) */
    -webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
    -moz-transform:    rotate(90deg);
    -ms-transform:     rotate(90deg);
    -o-transform:      rotate(90deg);
    transform:         rotate(90deg);
}

HTML

Add class="collapsed" to any anchor tags that are closed by default.

This will turn anchors such as

<a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#collapseTwo">

into

<a class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#collapseTwo">

Answer 5

A bootstrap v3 solution (where the events have different names), also using only one jQuery selector (as seen here):

$('.accordion').on('hide.bs.collapse show.bs.collapse', function (n) {
    $(n.target).siblings('.panel-heading').find('i.glyphicon').toggleClass('glyphicon-chevron-down glyphicon-chevron-up');
});

Answer 6

Added to @muffls answer so that this works with all twitter bootstrap collapse and makes the change to the arrow before the animatation starts.

$('.collapse').on('show', function(){
    $(this).parent().find(".icon-chevron-left").removeClass("icon-chevron-left").addClass("icon-chevron-down");
}).on('hide', function(){
    $(this).parent().find(".icon-chevron-down").removeClass("icon-chevron-down").addClass("icon-chevron-left");
});

Depending on your HTML structure you may need to modify the parent().
