# Overflow list

**OverflowList** takes a generic list of items and renders as many items as can fit inside its container. Overflowed
items that do not fit are collapsed into a single element. The visible items will be recomputed when a resize is
detected.

The `items` prop accepts an array of generic objects. The required `visibleItemRenderer` callback prop determines the
appearance of a visible item. The required `overflowRenderer` callback prop receives all overflowed items and renders
the overflow indicator.

This component uses [the `ResizeObserver` API][resizeobserver] to efficiently detect when its dimensions change. Use
the `observeParents` prop to watch for resizing further up in the DOM tree.
