# ListItem

A Jetpack Compose ListItem component for displaying structured list entries.
Android, Included in Expo Go

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Use this file to discover all available pages.

Expo UI ListItem matches the official Jetpack Compose [`ListItem`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/material3/package-summary#ListItem\(kotlin.Function0,androidx.compose.ui.Modifier,kotlin.Function0,kotlin.Function0,kotlin.Function0,kotlin.Function0,androidx.compose.material3.ListItemColors,androidx.compose.ui.unit.Dp,androidx.compose.ui.unit.Dp\)) API for structured list entries with headline, supporting, overline, leading, and trailing content slots.

## Installation

```sh
npx expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules) in your project.

## Usage

### Basic list item

```tsx
import { Host, ListItem, Text } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function BasicListItem() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <ListItem>
        <ListItem.HeadlineContent>
          <Text>Settings</Text>
        </ListItem.HeadlineContent>
      </ListItem>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### With compound components

Use compound components for rich content in each position.

```tsx
import { Host, ListItem, Icon, Text } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function ListItemWithSlots() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <ListItem>
        <ListItem.HeadlineContent>
          <Text>Notifications</Text>
        </ListItem.HeadlineContent>
        <ListItem.OverlineContent>
          <Text>ACCOUNT</Text>
        </ListItem.OverlineContent>
        <ListItem.SupportingContent>
          <Text>Manage notification preferences</Text>
        </ListItem.SupportingContent>
        <ListItem.LeadingContent>
          <Icon source={require('./assets/notifications.xml')} />
        </ListItem.LeadingContent>
        <ListItem.TrailingContent>
          <Icon source={require('./assets/chevron.xml')} />
        </ListItem.TrailingContent>
      </ListItem>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Clickable list item

Use the `clickable` modifier to handle tap interactions.

```tsx
import { Host, ListItem, Text } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';
import { clickable } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose/modifiers';

export default function ClickableListItem() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <ListItem modifiers={[clickable(() => console.log('Tapped!'))]}>
        <ListItem.HeadlineContent>
          <Text>Tap me</Text>
        </ListItem.HeadlineContent>
      </ListItem>
    </Host>
  );
}
```

### Custom headline content

Use `ListItem.HeadlineContent` for composable headline content like rows with icons.

```tsx
import { Host, ListItem, Text, Row, Icon } from '@expo/ui/jetpack-compose';

export default function ListItemCustomHeadline() {
  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <ListItem>
        <ListItem.HeadlineContent>
          <Row horizontalArrangement={{ spacedBy: 8 }} verticalAlignment="center">
            <Text>Premium Feature</Text>
            <Icon source={require('./assets/star.xml')} size={16} />
          </Row>
        </ListItem.HeadlineContent>
      </ListItem>
    </Host>
  );
}
```
