Overview

The React ListView provides an accessible, templated list UI that supports single selection, grouping, nested navigation, and on‑demand loading for large data sets.


Quick code example

Starter TSX showing a ListView bound to a simple array.

import * as React from 'react';
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/react-lists';

const items = ['Item A','Item B','Item C','Item D'];

export default function App(){
  return (
    <div className="component-section">
      <ListViewComponent dataSource={items} />
    </div>
  );
}

High performance

Virtualization keeps the ListView fast, even with very large datasets, by creating DOM nodes only for visible items.


Data binding in React ListView

Flexible data binding

The ListView can connect to remote REST or OData endpoints via a data manager to support paging, filtering, and server-side sorting. Point the control to your external endpoint and supply a server query to customize how items are retrieved. For very large datasets, choose server-side paging to keep payloads small.


Sorted list

The ListView supports sorting items in ascending or descending order for both local and remote data sources.

Checkbox selection

Checklists

Render compact list items with a checkbox beside each label so users can select individual items or perform bulk actions. Ensure checkboxes and labels are visually aligned and accessible via keyboard and screen readers.


Search list

Place a text box in the ListView header and update the list’s data as users type to implement instant, custom filtering behavior.

Grouping in React ListView

Grouping

The ListView supports wrapping nested elements into groups based on categories. Each item’s category can be mapped to a data field to enable grouping and single-level navigation.


UI customization

Completely customize the ListView header, list items, and group header using template options. This helps users arrange their content in flexible formats like image view, multiline text view, and mixed mode.

Accessibility

React Listview Keyboard image

Keyboard navigation for React ListView access

Navigate items with arrow keys, activate selections with Enter or Space, and close pop-ups with Esc for efficient keyboard-first workflows.

React Listview Screen Reader image

Screen reader and accessibility

Use ARIA roles and live regions so screen readers announce list changes, focus moves, and selection events.

React Listview Rtl image

Right-to-left (RTL) rendering

Use mirrored layouts and list alignments for right-to-left languages to preserve readability and interaction patterns.
