Why is there no LWC lightning-list-view?

Question

There is an Aura lightning:listView, but presently not a LWC lightning-list-view. For most Aura components there is an LWC equivalent. That allows the composting composing of LWCs inside other LWCs which is a great way to leverage what has already been built rather than having to start from scratch.

Why no LWC in this case?

Answer 1

While looks there is no component which is very similar to aura version there is api thats of BETA quality.

There is a lightning/uiListApi module to get List views data and metadata in LWC. Note that as of today it is under BETA.

There is also a sample code in the trailhead recipe repo

import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
import { getListUi } from 'lightning/uiListApi';

import CONTACT_OBJECT from '@salesforce/schema/Contact';
import NAME_FIELD from '@salesforce/schema/Contact.Name';

export default class WireListView extends LightningElement {
 @wire(getListUi, {
    objectApiName: CONTACT_OBJECT,
    listViewApiName: 'All_Recipes_Contacts',
    sortBy: NAME_FIELD,
    pageSize: 10
})
listView;

 get contacts() {
    return this.listView.data.records.records;
 }
}

You can combine this with the lightning-datatable to get one similar to the list view.
