List Component

Overview

This section provides a concise overview of the List component. The List component serves as a parent container for ListItm elements, providing a structured and organized way to display multiple items in a list format. It is built using an <ul> tag by default and is designed to be unstyled, allowing for maximum flexibility in applying custom styles. It renders a collection of ListItm components or accepts custom children.

Properties

This section details all the configurable properties (props) that the List component accepts.

Name	Description	Possible Values	Default Setting
as	Specifies the HTML element type for the list container (e.g., ul, ol).	React.ElementType	_Builtin.List
list	Toggles the overall visibility of the list component. If false, the list will not render.	boolean (true to show, false to hide)	true
listItmMap	Renders a collection of list items. If provided, it overrides the default example ListItm rendering. It's treated as React.ReactNode.	React.ReactNode	undefined
exampleListItm	Toggles the rendering of an example or placeholder list item, typically used when listItmMap is not provided.	boolean (true to show, false to hide)	true
children	Can also accept children directly, representing the list items to be rendered. These are rendered if listItmMap is not provided.	React.ReactNode	null

Styling

This section describes how the List component is styled and how users can customize its appearance.

• Base Styles (List.module.css):

  • The component applies the .list class from List.module.css.
  • The primary style defined is position: relative;.
  • The component is rendered with unstyled={true}, meaning default browser list styles (like bullets or numbers) are typically removed, allowing for complete custom styling.
  • The component defaults to using a <ul> tag (tag="ul").

• Customization:

  • Users can pass custom CSS classes via the className prop (though not explicitly listed in the .d.ts, it's a common React pattern and used internally via _utils.cx).
  • The as prop allows changing the base HTML element (e.g., from <ul> to <ol> or a <div>).

Usage

This section provides practical examples of how to use the List component in your application.

// Import the component
import { List } from './List';
// Assuming ListItm component is available for examples
// import { ListItm } from './ListItm';

// --- Basic List Rendering ---
// Renders a list structure, showing an example ListItm by default if no listItmMap or children are provided.
<List />

// --- Conditionally Visible List ---
// The 'list' prop controls the overall rendering.
const showList = false;
<List list={showList} /> // This will render null

// --- List with Example Item (explicitly) ---
// Showcases a single ListItm when no other content is mapped.
<List exampleListItm={true} />

// --- List with Mapped Items ---
// Demonstrates passing a collection of ListItm components via listItmMap.
// Assuming ListItm can accept props like 'label' or 'text'.
// const myItems = [
//   <ListItm key="1" label="Item 1" />,
//   <ListItm key="2" label="Item 2" />,
// ];
// <List listItmMap={myItems} />

// --- List with Direct Children ---
// Render custom content directly as children of the List component.
// <List>
//   <li>First Item</li>
//   <li>Second Item</li>
// </List>

// --- Using 'as' prop to change element type ---
// Render the list as an ordered list (<ol>) instead of an unordered list (<ul>).
// <List as="ol">
//   <li>Step 1</li>
//   <li>Step 2</li>
// </List>
