# Props

Name	Type	Mandatory	Example	Default value	Description
items	Array	true	-	-	The list of items
itemHeight	Number	true	100	-	The height of each item (in px)
outerContainerEl	String	false	"div"	"div"	The type of the outer element (no matter the element, some css properties are necessary, e.g. `display: block`)
outerContainerClass	String	false	"my-class"	"vue-virtualized-list"	Class of the outer element
innerContainerEl	String	false	"div"	"div"	The type of the inner element, the scrollable one (no matter the element, some css properties are necessary, e.g. `display: block` and `position: relative`)
innerContainerClass	String	false	"my-class__inner"	"vue-virtualized-list__scroll"	Class of the inner element
bench	Number	false	10	5	The number of non-visible items to render before the first visible and after the last (if a user scrolls very fast without bench items there might be a short amount of time where not items are rendered. Increasing the bench will decrease this issue but it also increases the rendering cost. Most of the time leaving the default value works just fine)
