What is MagicList

MagicList is a script that allows you to create a vertical or horizontal List that updates automatically with your data. It provides handy menu items to create pre-configured vertical or horizontal lists, saving you a lot of time.

It does the minimum amount of operations to remove, add or update the items that changed instead of clearing the list and re-instantiating all the children which can be very bad performance-wise.

How to Start

• Right-click on your scene Hierarchy and select UI/MagicList/Vertical (or Horizontal)
• Read the tutorial to learn how to use it with a step-by-step example
• Unpack Example.unitypackage to see what the finished tutorial looks like

FAQ

Can I use MagicList with a List<> variable?

• No, you have to change it into an ObservableCollection which has roughly the same interface and allows MagicList to be a lot more performant.

MagicList.SetData was never called

• This error means that you didn’t link your data to your MagicList.

- Create a MonoBehaviour Script with a public `magicList` property like this: 

```csharp
public MagicList.Scripts.MagicList magicList;
```

- Override the Awake method to call "magicList.SetData()" like this:

```csharp
private void Awake() { 
  magicList.SetData( YOUR_DATA_VARIABLE ); 
}
```

- Drag `Vertical List` or `Horizontal List` from your Hierarchy to the `magicList` property of your component
