react-window

react-window is a component library that helps render large lists of data quickly and without the performance problems that often go along with rendering a lot of data. It's used in a lot of places, from React DevTools to the Replay browser.

List

Required props

Name	Description
rowComponent	React component responsible for rendering a row. This component will receive an `index` and `style` prop by default. Additionally it will receive prop values passed to `rowProps`. ℹ️ The prop types for this component are exported as `RowComponentProps`
rowCount	Number of items to be rendered in the list.
rowHeight	Row height; the following formats are supported: number of pixels (number) percentage of the grid's current height (string) function that returns the row height (in pixels) given an index and `cellProps` dynamic row height cache returned by the `useDynamicRowHeight` hook ⚠️ Dynamic row heights are not as efficient as predetermined sizes. It's recommended to provide your own height values if they can be determined ahead of time.
rowProps	Additional props to be passed to the row-rendering component. List will automatically re-render rows when values in this object change. ⚠️ This object must not contain `ariaAttributes`, `index`, or `style` props.

Optional props

Name	Description
className	CSS class name.
style	Optional CSS properties. The list of rows will fill the height defined by this style.
children	Additional content to be rendered within the list (above cells). This property can be used to render things like overlays or tooltips.
defaultHeight	Default height of list for initial render. This value is important for server rendering.
listRef	Ref used to interact with this component's imperative API. This API has imperative methods for scrolling and a getter for the outermost DOM element. ℹ️ The `useListRef` and `useListCallbackRef` hooks are exported for convenience use in TypeScript projects.
onResize	Callback notified when the List's outermost HTMLElement resizes. This may be used to (re)scroll a row into view.
onRowsRendered	Callback notified when the range of visible rows changes.
overscanCount	How many additional rows to render outside of the visible area. This can reduce visual flickering near the edges of a list when scrolling.
tagName	Can be used to override the root HTML element rendered by the List component. The default value is "div", meaning that List renders an HTMLDivElement as its root. ⚠️ In most use cases the default ARIA roles are sufficient and this prop is not needed.

Grid

Required props

Name	Description
cellComponent	React component responsible for rendering a cell. This component will receive an `index` and `style` prop by default. Additionally it will receive prop values passed to `cellProps`. ℹ️ The prop types for this component are exported as `CellComponentProps`
cellProps	Additional props to be passed to the cell-rendering component. Grid will automatically re-render cells when values in this object change. ⚠️ This object must not contain `ariaAttributes`, `columnIndex`, `rowIndex`, or `style` props.
columnCount	Number of columns to be rendered in the grid.
columnWidth	Column width; the following formats are supported: number of pixels (number) percentage of the grid's current width (string) function that returns the row width (in pixels) given an index and `cellProps`
rowCount	Number of rows to be rendered in the grid.
rowHeight	Row height; the following formats are supported: number of pixels (number) percentage of the grid's current height (string) function that returns the row height (in pixels) given an index and `cellProps`

Optional props

Name	Description
className	CSS class name.
dir	Corresponds to the HTML dir attribute: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/dir
style	Optional CSS properties. The grid of cells will fill the height and width defined by this style.
children	Additional content to be rendered within the grid (above cells). This property can be used to render things like overlays or tooltips.
defaultHeight	Default height of grid for initial render. This value is important for server rendering.
defaultWidth	Default width of grid for initial render. This value is important for server rendering.
gridRef	Ref used to interact with this component's imperative API. This API has imperative methods for scrolling and a getter for the outermost DOM element. ℹ️ The `useGridRef` and `useGridCallbackRef` hooks are exported for convenience use in TypeScript projects.
onCellsRendered	Callback notified when the range of rendered cells changes.
onResize	Callback notified when the Grid's outermost HTMLElement resizes. This may be used to (re)scroll a cell into view.
overscanCount	How many additional rows/columns to render outside of the visible area. This can reduce visual flickering near the edges of a grid when scrolling.
tagName	Can be used to override the root HTML element rendered by the List component. The default value is "div", meaning that List renders an HTMLDivElement as its root. ⚠️ In most use cases the default ARIA roles are sufficient and this prop is not needed.
