Package Exports
- react-window
- react-window/src
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-window) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Frequently asked questions
How is react-window
different from react-virtualized
?
I wrote react-virtualized
several years ago. At the time, I was new to both React and the concept of windowing. Because of this, I made a few API decisions that I later came to regret. One of these was adding too many non-essential features and components. Once you add something to an open source project, removing it is pretty painful for users.
react-window
is a complete rewrite of react-virtualized
. I didn't try to solve as many problems or support as many use cases. Instead I focused on making the package smaller1 and faster. I also put a lot of thought into making the API (and documentation) as beginner-friendly as possible (with the caveat that windowing is still kind of an advanced use case).
If react-window
provides the functionality your project needs, I would strongly recommend using it instead of react-virtualized
. However if you need features that only react-virtualized
provides, you have two options:
- Use
react-virtualized
. (It's still widely used by a lot of successful projects!) - Create a component that decorates one of the
react-window
primitives and adds the functionality you need. You may even want to release this component to NPM (as its own, standalone package)! 🙂

list to a CRA project increases the (gzipped) build size by ~33.5 KB. Adding a react-window
list to a CRA project increases the (gzipped) build size by <2 KB.
