ListView

A ListView displays a list of interactive items, and allows a user to navigate, select, or perform an action.

Example#

<ListView
  selectionMode="multiple"
  aria-label="Static ListView items example"
  maxWidth="size-6000"
>
  <Item>Adobe Photoshop</Item>
  <Item>Adobe InDesign</Item>
  <Item>Adobe AfterEffects</Item>
  <Item>Adobe Illustrator</Item>
  <Item>Adobe Lightroom</Item>
</ListView>

Content#

ListView is a collection component that provides users with a way to view, select, navigate, or drag and drop items in a list. While it may feel similar to the ListBox component, ListView offers greater flexibility in the contents it can render and can distinguish between row selection and actions performed on a row. This makes ListView an ideal component for use cases such as file managers.

Basic usage of ListView, seen in the example above, shows the use of a static collection where the contents of the ListView are hard coded. Dynamic collections, as shown below, can be used when the options come from an external data source such as an API, or update over time. Providing the data dynamically allows ListView to automatically cache the rendering of each item, which dramatically improves performance.

Each item has a unique key defined by the data. In the example below, the key of each row element is implicitly defined by the id property of the row object. See collections to learn more about keys in dynamic collections.

const items = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Adobe Photoshop' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Adobe XD' },
  { id: 3, name: 'Adobe InDesign' },
  { id: 4, name: 'Adobe AfterEffects' },
  { id: 5, name: 'Adobe Illustrator' },
  { id: 6, name: 'Adobe Lightroom' },
  { id: 7, name: 'Adobe Premiere Pro' },
  { id: 8, name: 'Adobe Fresco' },
  { id: 9, name: 'Adobe Dreamweaver' }
];

  aria-label="Dynamic ListView items example"
>
  {(item) => (
    <Item key={item.key}>
      {item.name}
    </Item>
  )}
</ListView>

const items = [
  { id: 1, name: 'Adobe Photoshop' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Adobe XD' },
  { id: 3, name: 'Adobe InDesign' },
  { id: 4, name: 'Adobe AfterEffects' },

    <Item
      key={item.key}
    >
      {item.name}
    </Item>
  )}
</ListView>

Internationalization#

To internationalize a ListView, all text content within the ListView should be localized. This includes the aria-label provided to the ListView if any. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the layout of ListView is automatically flipped.

Labeling#

Accessibility#

An aria-label must be provided to the ListView for accessibility. If the ListView is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the id of the labeling element instead.

Asynchronous loading#

ListView supports loading data asynchronously, and will display a progress circle reflecting the current load state, set by the loadingState prop. It also supports infinite scrolling to load more data on demand as the user scrolls, via the onLoadMore prop.

This example uses the useAsyncList hook to handle loading the data. See the docs for more information.

import {useAsyncList} from 'react-stately';

function AsyncList() {
  let list = useAsyncList({
    async load({ signal, cursor }) {
      if (cursor) {
        cursor = cursor.replace(/^http:\/\//i, 'https://');
      }

      let res = await fetch(
        cursor || `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search=`,
        { signal }
      );
      let json = await res.json();

      return {
        items: json.results,
        cursor: json.next
      };
    }
  });

  return (
    <ListView
      selectionMode="multiple"
      aria-label="Async loading ListView example"
      maxWidth="size-6000"
      height="size-3000"
      items={list.items}
      loadingState={list.loadingState}
      onLoadMore={list.loadMore}
    >
      {(item) => <Item key={item.name}>{item.name}</Item>}
    </ListView>
  );
}

import {useAsyncList} from 'react-stately';

function AsyncList() {
  let list = useAsyncList({
    async load({ signal, cursor }) {
      if (cursor) {
        cursor = cursor.replace(/^http:\/\//i, 'https://');
      }

      let res = await fetch(
        cursor ||
          `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search=`,
        { signal }
      );
      let json = await res.json();

      return {
        items: json.results,
        cursor: json.next
      };
    }
  });

  return (
    <ListView
      selectionMode="multiple"
      aria-label="Async loading ListView example"
      maxWidth="size-6000"
      height="size-3000"
      items={list.items}
      loadingState={list.loadingState}
      onLoadMore={list.loadMore}
    >
      {(item) => <Item key={item.name}>{item.name}</Item>}
    </ListView>
  );
}

import {useAsyncList} from 'react-stately';

function AsyncList() {
  let list =
    useAsyncList({
      async load(
        {
          signal,
          cursor
        }
      ) {
        if (cursor) {
          cursor = cursor
            .replace(
              /^http:\/\//i,
              'https://'
            );
        }

        let res =
          await fetch(
            cursor ||
              `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search=`,
            { signal }
          );
        let json =
          await res
            .json();

        return {
          items:
            json.results,
          cursor:
            json.next
        };
      }
    });

  return (
    <ListView
      selectionMode="multiple"
      aria-label="Async loading ListView example"
      maxWidth="size-6000"
      height="size-3000"
      items={list.items}
      loadingState={list
        .loadingState}
      onLoadMore={list
        .loadMore}
    >
      {(item) => (
        <Item
          key={item.name}
        >
          {item.name}
        </Item>
      )}
    </ListView>
  );
}

Complex items#

Items within a ListView also allow for additional content used to add context or provide additional actions to items. Descriptions, illustrations, and thumbnails can be added to the children of <Item> as shown in the example below. If a description is added, the prop slot="description" must be used to distinguish the different <Text> elements. Additionally, components such as <ActionButton>, <ActionGroup>, and <ActionMenu> will be styled appropriately if included within an item. Providing the hasChildItems prop to an <Item> will add a chevron icon to the end of the row to visually indicate that the row has children.

Selection#

By default, ListView doesn't allow row selection, but this can be enabled using the selectionMode prop. Use defaultSelectedKeys to provide a default set of selected rows. Note that the value of the selected keys must match the key prop of the Item.

The example below enables multiple selection mode, and uses defaultSelectedKeys to select the rows with keys "Charizard" and "Venusaur".

<ListView
  maxWidth="size-6000"
  selectionMode="multiple"
  defaultSelectedKeys={['Charizard', 'Venusaur']}
  aria-label="ListView multiple selection example"
>
  <Item key="Charizard">
    Charizard
  </Item>
  <Item key="Blastoise">
    Blastoise
  </Item>
  <Item key="Venusaur">
    Venusaur
  </Item>
  <Item key="Pikachu">
    Pikachu
  </Item>
</ListView>

<ListView
  maxWidth="size-6000"
  selectionMode="multiple"
  defaultSelectedKeys={['Charizard', 'Venusaur']}
  aria-label="ListView multiple selection example"
>
  <Item key="Charizard">
    Charizard
  </Item>
  <Item key="Blastoise">
    Blastoise
  </Item>
  <Item key="Venusaur">
    Venusaur
  </Item>
  <Item key="Pikachu">
    Pikachu
  </Item>
</ListView>

<ListView
  maxWidth="size-6000"
  selectionMode="multiple"
  defaultSelectedKeys={[
    'Charizard',
    'Venusaur'
  ]}
  aria-label="ListView multiple selection example"
>
  <Item key="Charizard">
    Charizard
  </Item>
  <Item key="Blastoise">
    Blastoise
  </Item>
  <Item key="Venusaur">
    Venusaur
  </Item>
  <Item key="Pikachu">
    Pikachu
  </Item>
</ListView>

Controlled selection#

To programmatically control row selection, use the selectedKeys prop paired with the onSelectionChange callback. The key prop from the selected rows will be passed into the callback when the row is pressed, allowing you to update state accordingly. Note that the value of the selected keys must match the key prop of the Item.

Here is how you would control selection for the above example.

function PokemonList(props) {
  let rows = [
    { id: 1, name: 'Charizard' },
    { id: 2, name: 'Blastoise' },
    { id: 3, name: 'Venusaur' },
    { id: 4, name: 'Pikachu' }
  ];

  let [selectedKeys, setSelectedKeys] = React.useState(
    props.defaultSelectedKeys || new Set([2])
  );

  return (
    <ListView
      items={rows}
      maxWidth="size-6000"
      aria-label="ListView with controlled selection"
      selectionMode="multiple"
      selectedKeys={selectedKeys}
      onSelectionChange={setSelectedKeys}
      {...props}
    >
      {(item) => (
        <Item>
          {item.name}
        </Item>
      )}
    </ListView>
  );
}

function PokemonList(props) {
  let rows = [
    { id: 1, name: 'Charizard' },
    { id: 2, name: 'Blastoise' },
    { id: 3, name: 'Venusaur' },
    { id: 4, name: 'Pikachu' }
  ];

  let [selectedKeys, setSelectedKeys] = React.useState(
    props.defaultSelectedKeys || new Set([2])
  );

  return (
    <ListView
      items={rows}
      maxWidth="size-6000"
      aria-label="ListView with controlled selection"
      selectionMode="multiple"
      selectedKeys={selectedKeys}
      onSelectionChange={setSelectedKeys}
      {...props}
    >
      {(item) => (
        <Item>
          {item.name}
        </Item>
      )}
    </ListView>
  );
}

function PokemonList(
  props
) {
  let rows = [
    {
      id: 1,
      name: 'Charizard'
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      name: 'Blastoise'
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      name: 'Venusaur'
    },
    {
      id: 4,
      name: 'Pikachu'
    }
  ];

  let [
    selectedKeys,
    setSelectedKeys
  ] = React.useState(
    props
      .defaultSelectedKeys ||
      new Set([2])
  );

  return (
    <ListView
      items={rows}
      maxWidth="size-6000"
      aria-label="ListView with controlled selection"
      selectionMode="multiple"
      selectedKeys={selectedKeys}
      onSelectionChange={setSelectedKeys}
      {...props}
    >
      {(item) => (
        <Item>
          {item.name}
        </Item>
      )}
    </ListView>
  );

Single selection#

To limit users to selecting only a single item at a time, selectionMode can be set to single.

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  selectionMode="single"
  selectionStyle="highlight"
  aria-label="ListView with single selection"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  selectionMode="single"
  selectionStyle="highlight"
  aria-label="ListView with single selection"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  selectionMode="single"
  selectionStyle="highlight"
  aria-label="ListView with single selection"
/>

Disallow empty selection#

ListView also supports a disallowEmptySelection prop which forces the user to have at least one row in the ListView selected at all times. In this mode, if a single row is selected and the user presses it, it will not be deselected.

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  disallowEmptySelection
  aria-label="ListView with empty selection disallowed"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  disallowEmptySelection
  aria-label="ListView with empty selection disallowed"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  disallowEmptySelection
  aria-label="ListView with empty selection disallowed"
/>

Disabled rows#

You can disable specific rows by providing an array of keys to ListView via the disabledKeys prop. This will disable all interactions on disabled rows, unless the disabledBehavior prop is used to change this behavior.

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList disabledKeys={[3]} aria-label="ListView with disabled rows" />

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  disabledKeys={[3]}
  aria-label="ListView with disabled rows"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  disabledKeys={[3]}
  aria-label="ListView with disabled rows"
/>

If you set the disabledBehavior prop to selection, interactions such as focus, dragging, or actions can still be performed on disabled rows.

<Flex wrap gap="size-300">
  <PokemonList
    disabledKeys={[3]}
    defaultSelectedKeys={[]}
    disabledBehavior="all"
    aria-label="ListView with all interaction disabled for disabled rows" 
    width="size-2400"
    onAction={key => alert(`Opening item ${key}...`)}

      )}

    onAction={(key) =>
      alert(
        `Opening item ${key}...`
      )}
  />
</Flex>

Highlight selection#

By default, ListView uses the checkbox selection style, which includes a checkbox in each row for selection. When the selectionStyle prop is set to "highlight", the checkboxes are hidden, and the selected rows are displayed with a highlighted background instead.

In addition to changing the appearance, the selection behavior also changes depending on the selectionStyle prop. In the default checkbox selection style, clicking, tapping, or pressing the Space or Enter keys toggles selection for the focused row. Using the arrow keys moves focus but does not change selection.

In the highlight selection style, however, clicking a row with the mouse replaces the selection with only that row. Using the arrow keys moves both focus and selection. To select multiple rows, modifier keys such as Ctrl, Cmd, and Shift can be used. On touch screen devices, selection always behaves as toggle since modifier keys may not be available.

These selection styles implement the behaviors defined in Aria Practices.

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  selectionStyle="highlight"
  aria-label="Highlight selection ListView"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  selectionStyle="highlight"
  aria-label="Highlight selection ListView"
/>

// Using the same list as above
<PokemonList
  selectionStyle="highlight"
  aria-label="Highlight selection ListView"
/>

Row actions#

ListView supports row actions via the onAction prop, which is useful for functionality such as navigation. When nothing is selected, the ListView performs actions by default when clicking or tapping a row. Items may be selected using the checkbox, or by long pressing on touch devices. When at least one item is selected, the ListView is in selection mode, and clicking or tapping a row toggles the selection. Actions may also be triggered via the Enter key, and selection using the Space key.

This behavior is slightly different in the highlight selection style, where single clicking selects the row and actions are performed via double click. Touch and keyboard behaviors are unaffected.

Props#

Visual options#

Quiet#

function ListExample(props) {
  return (
    <ListView
      selectionMode="multiple"
      aria-label="Quiet ListView example"
      width="size-3000"
      {...props}
    >
      <Item>Adobe AfterEffects</Item>
      <Item>Adobe Dreamweaver</Item>
      <Item>Adobe Acrobat</Item>
    </ListView>
  );
}

<ListExample isQuiet />

function ListExample(props) {
  return (
    <ListView
      selectionMode="multiple"
      aria-label="Quiet ListView example"
      width="size-3000"
      {...props}
    >
      <Item>Adobe AfterEffects</Item>
      <Item>Adobe Dreamweaver</Item>
      <Item>Adobe Acrobat</Item>
    </ListView>
  );
}

<ListExample isQuiet />

function ListExample(
  props
) {
  return (
    <ListView
      selectionMode="multiple"
      aria-label="Quiet ListView example"
      width="size-3000"
      {...props}
    >
      <Item>
        Adobe
        AfterEffects
      </Item>
      <Item>
      Adobe Dreamweaver
      </Item>
      <Item>Adobe Acrobat
      </Item>
    </ListView>
  );
}

<ListExample isQuiet />

Density#

The amount of vertical padding that each row contains can be modified by providing the density prop.

<Flex wrap gap="size-300">
  <ListExample density="compact" aria-label="Compact ListView example" />
  <ListExample density="spacious" aria-label="Spacious ListView example" />
</Flex>

<Flex wrap gap="size-300">
  <ListExample
    density="compact"
    aria-label="Compact ListView example"
  />
  <ListExample
    density="spacious"
    aria-label="Spacious ListView example"
  />
</Flex>

<Flex
  wrap
  gap="size-300"
>
  <ListExample
    density="compact"
    aria-label="Compact ListView example"
  />
  <ListExample
    density="spacious"
    aria-label="Spacious ListView example"
  />
</Flex>

Overflow mode#

By default, text content that overflows its row will be truncated. You can have it wrap instead by passing overflowMode="wrap" to the ListView.

<ListExample
  overflowMode="wrap"
  aria-label="Text wrapping ListView example"
  width="size-2000"
/>

<ListExample
  overflowMode="wrap"
  aria-label="Text wrapping ListView example"
  width="size-2000"
/>

<ListExample
  overflowMode="wrap"
  aria-label="Text wrapping ListView example"
  width="size-2000"
/>

Empty state#

Use the renderEmptyState prop to customize what the ListView will display if there are no rows provided.

import {Content, Heading, IllustratedMessage} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
import NotFound from '@spectrum-icons/illustrations/NotFound';

function renderEmptyState() {
  return (
    <IllustratedMessage>
      <NotFound />
      <Heading>No results</Heading>
      <Content>No results found</Content>
    </IllustratedMessage>
  );
}

<ListView
  selectionMode="multiple"
  aria-label="Example ListView for empty state"
  maxWidth="size-6000"
  height="size-3000"
  renderEmptyState={renderEmptyState}
>
  {[]}
</ListView>

import {
  Content,
  Heading,
  IllustratedMessage
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';
import NotFound from '@spectrum-icons/illustrations/NotFound';

function renderEmptyState() {
  return (
    <IllustratedMessage>
      <NotFound />
      <Heading>No results</Heading>
      <Content>No results found</Content>
    </IllustratedMessage>
  );
}

<ListView

function renderEmptyState() {
  return (
    <IllustratedMessage>
      <NotFound />
      <Heading>
        No results
      </Heading>
      <Content>
        No results found
      </Content>
    </IllustratedMessage>
  );
}

<ListView
