<script>
  import Item from './Item'

  export default {
    name: 'root',
    data () {
      return {
        itemComponent: Item,
        items: [{uid: 'unique_1', text: 'abc'}, {uid: 'unique_2', text: 'xyz'}, ...]
      }
    },
    components: { 'virtual-list': VirtualList }
  }
</script>

Item component:

<template>
  <div>{{ index }} - {{ source.text }}</div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    name: 'item-component',
    props: {
      index: { // index of current item
        type: Number
      },
      source: { // here is: {uid: 'unique_1', text: 'abc'}

Or a function called with each data-source and return their unique key. Its value must be unique in data-sources, it is used for identifying item size. | | data-sources | Array[Object] | The source array built for list, each array data must be an object and has an unique key get or generate for data-key property. | | data-component | Component | The render item component created / declared by vue, and it will use the data object in data-sources as render prop and named: source. |

Optional props

Public methods

Attentions

This component use an in-place patch strategy to render list instead of v-for and :key. This way achieves the best efficient, but only suitable when your list output does not rely on item component inner state or temporary DOM state (e.g. form input values).

But how to deal with such a situation? Without maintaining inner state, recommend to use props and dispatch (stateless component), here is an example keep-state.
