### Description

A button component that displays an icon indicating expandable/collapsible state, typically used for accordion panels, tree nodes, or disclosure widgets. The icon rotates based on the expanded state and can be oriented in forward or reverse direction.

### Basic expander button

Example :

    <eui-icon-button-expander
      [isExpanded]="expanded"
      ariaLabel="Toggle section"
      (buttonClick)="expanded = !expanded">
    </eui-icon-button-expander>

### Forward direction (horizontal expansion)

Example :

    <eui-icon-button-expander
      [isExpanded]="sidebarOpen"
      [isDirectionForward]="true"
      ariaLabel="Toggle sidebar">
    </eui-icon-button-expander>

### Accessibility

- Provide descriptive `ariaLabel` indicating expand/collapse action
- Visual rotation clearly indicates state change
- Keyboard accessible via Tab and Enter/Space

### Notes

- Default direction is downward (for vertical expansion)
- Set `isDirectionForward="true"` for horizontal/sidebar expansion
- Icon automatically rotates based on `isExpanded` state
- Commonly paired with eui-fieldset or custom collapsible sections
