## Use a List Virtualizer for Any List
|
||||
|
||||
Use a list virtualizer like LegendList or FlashList instead of ScrollView with
|
||||
mapped children—even for short lists. Virtualizers only render visible items,
|
||||
reducing memory usage and mount time. ScrollView renders all children upfront,
|
||||
which gets expensive quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (ScrollView renders all items at once):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function Feed({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<ScrollView>
|
||||
{items.map((item) => (
|
||||
<ItemCard key={item.id} item={item} />
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</ScrollView>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
// 50 items = 50 components mounted, even if only 10 visible
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (virtualizer renders only visible items):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { LegendList } from '@legendapp/list'
|
||||
|
||||
function Feed({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<LegendList
|
||||
data={items}
|
||||
// if you aren't using React Compiler, wrap these with useCallback
|
||||
renderItem={({ item }) => <ItemCard item={item} />}
|
||||
keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
|
||||
estimatedItemSize={80}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Only ~10-15 visible items mounted at a time
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative (FlashList):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { FlashList } from '@shopify/flash-list'
|
||||
|
||||
function Feed({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<FlashList
|
||||
data={items}
|
||||
// if you aren't using React Compiler, wrap these with useCallback
|
||||
renderItem={({ item }) => <ItemCard item={item} />}
|
||||
keyExtractor={(item) => item.id}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Benefits apply to any screen with scrollable content—profiles, settings, feeds,
|
||||
search results. Default to virtualization.
