JavaScript accordion, expand divs when clicked

This is probably pretty simple but I'm a newbie and can't find the answer online :)

I'm trying to create a series of panels that should expand when clicked, kinda like an accordion menu but the whole div is clickable, also it should retract when clicked again. I've figured out how to get one panel to expand and retract but I don't know how to make it work for several divs. I'm guessing some kind of for-loop is needed, but can't understand how.

var panel = document.getElementById("panel-id");

panel.addEventListener("click", function(){
  if (panel.style.height === "100px") {
  panel.style.height = "400px";
  } else {
    panel.style.height = "100px"
  }
})
;

Hey, you can check out a basic tutorial here.

Also IDs should always be unique, so only use them once.
