What is a FlatList?

An item view presents large collections of site content for display .

The FlatList component displays the similar structured data in a scrollable list . It works well for large lists of data where the number of list items might change over time. The FlatList shows only those renders elements which are currently displaying on the screen, not all the elements of the list at once.

We will import List in our Home component and show it on screen . To create a list, we will use the map() method. This will iterate over an array of items, and render each one. When we run the app, we will see the list of names.
