Components

Message List

The Virtuoso message list component is built specifically for human/chatbot conversations. In addition to the virtualized rendering, the component exposes an imperative data management API that gives you the necessary control over the scroll position when older messages are loaded, new messages arrive, and when the user submits a message. The scroll position can update instantly or with a smooth scroll animation.

Grouped Mode

The GroupedVirtuoso component is a variant of the flat Virtuoso component, with the following differences:

• Instead of totalCount, the component exposes groupCounts: number[] property, which specifies the amount of items in each group. For example, passing [20, 30] will render two groups with 20 and 30 items each;
• In addition the itemContent property, the component requires an additional groupContent property, which renders the group header. The groupContent callback receives the zero-based group index as a parameter.

Grid

The VirtuosoGrid component displays same sized items in multiple columns. The layout and item sizing is controlled through CSS class properties, which allows you to use media queries, min-width, percentage, etc.

Masonry

The Masonry component renders columns from varying-height items, suitable for product listings, image galleries, etc.

Table

The TableVirtuoso component works just like Virtuoso, but with HTML tables. It supports window scrolling, sticky headers, sticky columns, and works with Tanstack Table and MUI Table.
