Legend List is a high-performance, pure-TypeScript list component for React Native and React, serving as a drop-in replacement for FlatList and FlashList. It is optimized for dynamically sized items, bidirectional infinite scrolling, and chat-style UIs without requiring native modules.

Use cases

• replace FlatList with a faster list in React Native
• render lists with dynamically sized items without performance loss
• build a chat UI that stays scrolled to the bottom without inverting the list
• implement bidirectional infinite scrolling
• migrate an existing FlashList app to a faster list component
• avoid native module linking in a React Native list

When to choose

• your React Native lists suffer from FlatList or FlashList performance issues
• items have varying heights and cause scroll jumps or blank cells
• you want a 100% JavaScript dependency with no native linking
• you need chat-style bottom-aligned lists or two-way infinite scroll

When to avoid

• you need a list component outside the React/React Native ecosystem
• you rely on native module features or platform-specific list optimizations
• your project requires a long-term stable library with a large community, since this is a newer option
