Advantages

• Tiny and very very easy to use.

• Big data list with high performance.

• Support fixed height and variable height.

• Support set the scroll index or offset to any.

• Event scroll, reach top and bottom can be detected.

Live demos

• Use with item-mode.

• Use with vfor-mode.

• Use with variable height.

How it works

Simple usage

Using by npm module:

npm install vue-virtual-scroll-list --save

<template>
    <div>
        <virtual-list :size="40" :remain="8">
            <item v-for="item of items" :key="item.id" />
        </virtual-list>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    import item from '../item.vue'
    import virtualList from 'vue-virtual-scroll-list'
    export default {
        data () {
            return {
                items: [ {id: 1}, {id: 2}, {id: 3}, ... ]
            }
        },
        components: { item, 'virtual-list': virtualList }
    }
</script>

Using by script include:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@2.3.0/dist/vue.js"></script>
<script src="https://tangbc.github.io/vue-virtual-scroll-list/index.js"></script>
<div id="app">
    <virtual-list :size="40" :remain="8" wtag="ul">
        <li class="item" v-for="(udf, index) of items" :key="index">Item: #{{ index }}</li>
    </virtual-list>
</div>

// Global name as `VirtualScrollList`
Vue.component('virtual-list', VirtualScrollList)
new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    data: {
        items: new Array(100000)
    }
})

More use ways or get start you can refer to these clearly demos.

Attentions

• Must assign the :key property on <item> component or dom frag with v-for directive.

• Consider use box-sizing: border-box on <item> if you want absolutely correct scroll height.

Props type

Prop	Type	Required	Description
size	Number	✓	Each list item height, in variable height, this prop just use to calculate the virtual-list outside container viewport fixed height.
remain	Number	✓	How many items should be shown in virtual-list viewport, so size and remain determine the outside container viewport height (size × remian).
bench	Number	*	Default value is equal to remain, unreached items count, not show in virtual-list viewport but exist in real DOM, the larger the bench, the higher the scroll performance will achieved.
start	Number	*	Default value is 0, the initial scroll start index. It must be integer and in the range of list index, if invalid there will be effected as 0 or the last one.
offset	Number	*	Default value is 0, the initial scroll offset. If both start and offset are assigned at initialization, start is preferred.
debounce	Number	*	It's disabled by default, milliseconds of using debounce function to ensure scroll event doesn't fire so often that it bricks browser performance.
rtag	String	*	Default value is div, the virtual-list root element tag name, in all cases it's style is set to display: block;
wtag	String	*	Default value is div, the virtual-list item wrapper element tag name, in all cases it's style is set to display: block;
wclass	String	*	Default value is an empty string, the virtual-list item wrapper element class, if assign this prop, you better not to change it's CSS box model.
totop	Function	*	Called when virtual-list is scrolled to top, no param.
tobottom	Function	*	Called when virtual-list is scrolled to bottom, no param.
onscroll	Function	*	Called when virtual-list is scrolling, with param: (event, data).
variable	Function or Boolean	*	Used in variable height, if assign Function, this prop is a variable height getter function which is called with param: (index) when each item is ready to be calculated; if assign Boolean, virtual-list will get each item variable height by it's inline style height automatic.
item	Component	*	Used in item-mode, list item vue component.
itemcount	Number	*	Used in item-mode, list data total counts.
itemprops	Function	*	Used in item-mode, a function call when each item is going to be rendered.

Public methods

Here are some usefull public methods you can call via ref:

• forceRender(): force render virtual-list if you need or make it refresh.

• updateVariable(index): update item height by index in variable height list.

Special scenes

About variable height

In variable height, prop remain and size is still required. All the index variable height and scroll offset will be cached by virtual-list after the binary-search calculate, if you want to change anyone <item/> height from data, you should call virtual-list public method updateVariable(index) to clear the offset cache.

If you assign variable as true, do not set inline style height inside <item/> component, you must set inline style height on <item/> component outside directly, such as:

<template>
    <div>
        <virtual-list :size="40" :remain="8" :variable="true">
            <item v-for="item of items" :key="item.id" :style="{ height: item.height + 'px' }" />
        </virtual-list>
    </div>
</template>

About item mode

Use item-mode can save a considerable amount of memory and performance (it's memory occupied is about only 1/10 of vfor-mode). In this mode, prop item, itemcount and itemprops are both required, and you don't have to put <item/> with a v-for frag inside virtual-list, just assign it as prop item:

<template>
    <div>
        <virtual-list :size="40" :remain="8"
            :item="item"
            :itemcount="100000"
            :itemprops="getItemprops"
        />
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    import itemComponent from '../item.vue'
    import virtualList from 'vue-virtual-scroll-list'
    export default {
        data () {
            return {
                item: itemComponent,
            }
        },
        methods: {
            getItemprops (itemIndex) {
                const itemProps = getItemProp(itemIndex)
                return {
                    props: itemProps // <item/> will render with itemProps.
                }
            }
        },
        components: { 'virtual-list': virtualList }
    }
</script>
