Example

List components show lists of a particular collection in your database. If your app's database has a Vacation Places collection, then you can use a list to show some or all of the Vacation Places on a screen.

There are seven types of list components:

• Simple List

• Card List

• Image List

• Avatar List

• Horizontal Card List

• Horizontal Chip List

• Social Media List

• Custom List

When you first add a list component to a screen, the first option in the left panel is to specify "What is this a list of?" Here you can select a collection in your database that the component should connect to. From there, you can bind each one of your lists to your collections.
