VueUseuseVirtualList
Create virtual lists with ease. Virtual lists (sometimes called virtual scrollers) allow you to render a large number of items performantly. They only render the minimum number of DOM nodes necessary to show the items within the container element by using the wrapper element to emulate the container element's full height.

Jump to index
Filter list by size
Usage
Simple list
typescript
import { useVirtualList } from '@vueuse/core'
const { list, containerProps, wrapperProps } = useVirtualList(
Array.from(Array(99999).keys()),
{
// Keep `itemHeight` in sync with the item's row.
itemHeight: 22,
},
)
import { useVirtualList } from '@vueuse/core'
const { list, containerProps, wrapperProps } = useVirtualList(
Array.from(Array(99999).keys()),
{
// Keep `itemHeight` in sync with the item's row.
itemHeight: 22,
},
)
Config
| State | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| itemHeight | number | ensure that the total height of the wrapper element is calculated correctly.* |
| itemWidth | number | ensure that the total width of the wrapper element is calculated correctly.* |
| overscan | number | number of pre-rendered DOM nodes. Prevents whitespace between items if you scroll very quickly. |
* The itemHeight or itemWidth must be kept in sync with the height of each row rendered. If you are seeing extra whitespace or jitter when scrolling to the bottom of the list, ensure the itemHeight or itemWidth is the same height as the row.
Reactive list
typescript
import { useVirtualList, useToggle } from '@vueuse/core'
import { computed } from 'vue'
const [isEven, toggle] = useToggle()
const allItems = Array.from(Array(99999).keys())
const filteredList = computed(() => allItems.filter(i => isEven.value ? i % 2 === 0 : i % 2 === 1))
const { list, containerProps, wrapperProps } = useVirtualList(
filteredList,
{
itemHeight: 22,
},
)
import { useVirtualList, useToggle } from '@vueuse/core'
import { computed } from 'vue'
const [isEven, toggle] = useToggle()
const allItems = Array.from(Array(99999).keys())
const filteredList = computed(() => allItems.filter(i => isEven.value ? i % 2 === 0 : i % 2 === 1))
const { list, containerProps, wrapperProps } = useVirtualList(
filteredList,
{
itemHeight: 22,
},
)

Component Usage
This function also provides a renderless component version via the
@vueuse/componentspackage. Learn more about the usage.
