GroupedList

A grouped list (GroupedList) allows you to render a set of items as multiple lists with various grouping properties.

For more details and examples visit the official docs. The R package cannot handle each and every case, so for advanced use cases you need to work using the original docs to achieve the desired result.

Usage

GroupedList(...)

GroupHeader(...)

Arguments

...

Props to pass to the component. The allowed props are listed below in the Details section.

Value

This benefits larger list scenarios by reducing the DOM on the screen, but can negatively affect performance for smaller lists. The default implementation will virtualize when this callback is not provided.

FAQ

My List is not re-rendering when I mutate its items. What should I do?

To determine if the list within the grouped list should re-render its contents, the component performs a referential equality check within its shouldComponentUpdate method. This is done to minimize the performance overhead associating with re-rendering the virtualized List pages, as recommended by the React documentation.

As a result of this implementation, the inner list will not determine it should re-render if the array values are mutated. To avoid this problem, we recommend re-creating the items array backing the grouped list by using a method such as Array.prototype.concat or ES6 spread syntax shown below:

By re-creating the items array without mutating the values, the inner List will correctly determine its contents have changed and then it should re-render with the new values.
