A high-performance list component for React Native

Overview

Legend List is a remarkable list component specifically crafted for React Native, developed entirely in TypeScript with no native dependencies. It presents a seamless drop-in replacement for existing libraries like FlatList and FlashList, boasting enhanced performance particularly when dealing with items of dynamic sizes. As applications evolve, the need for efficient and performant list components grows, and Legend List stands out in this regard.

This component excels in scenarios where standard lists might struggle, offering capabilities well-suited for modern application needs, such as chat interfaces and infinite scrolling. With its lightweight design and focus on optimization, developers are more inclined to integrate it into their projects without the burden of heavy dependencies, making it a compelling choice for React Native developers.

Features

  • Performance: Designed for high performance from the ground up, making it faster than FlatList and other list libraries in most cases.

  • Dynamic Item Sizes: Handles items with varying heights natively without compromising performance.

  • Drop-in Replacement: Fully API compatible with FlatList and FlashList, facilitating straightforward migration.

  • 100% JS: No native module linking is necessary, ensuring hassle-free integration across various platforms.

  • Lightweight: Strives to remain small in size with plans for optional plugins to cater to advanced use cases.

  • Bidirectional Infinite Lists: Supports seamless infinite scrolling in both directions, eliminating issues like flashes or scroll jumps.

Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
