      :data-key="'uid'"
      :data-sources="items"
      :data-component="itemComponent"
      :extra-props="{ otherPropValue: otherDataAssginToItemComponet }"
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import Item from './Item'
  import VirtualList from 'vue-virtual-scroll-list'

  export default {
    name: 'root',
    data () {
      return {
        itemComponent: Item,
        items: [{uid: 'unique_1', text: 'abc'}, {uid: 'unique_2', text: 'xyz'}, ...],
        otherDataAssginToItemComponet: 'The Progressive JavaScript Framework',

    },
    components: { 'virtual-list': VirtualList }
  }
</script>

Item component:

<template>
  <div>{{ index }} - {{ source.text }} - {{ otherPropValue }}</div>

Attentions

This component use an in-place patch strategy to render list instead of v-for and :key. This way achieves the best efficient, but only suitable when your list output does not rely on item component inner state or temporary DOM state (e.g. form input values).

But how to deal with such a situation? Without maintaining inner state, recommend to use props and dispatch (stateless component), here is an example keep-state.
