RenderSliverList class

A sliver that places multiple box children in a linear array along the main axis.

Each child is forced to have the SliverConstraints.crossAxisExtent in the cross axis but determines its own main axis extent.

RenderSliverList determines its scroll offset by "dead reckoning" because children outside the visible part of the sliver are not materialized, which means RenderSliverList cannot learn their main axis extent. Instead, newly materialized children are placed adjacent to existing children. If this dead reckoning results in a logical inconsistency (e.g., attempting to place the zeroth child at a scroll offset other than zero), the RenderSliverList generates a SliverGeometry.scrollOffsetCorrection to restore consistency.

If the children have a fixed extent in the main axis, consider using RenderSliverFixedExtentList rather than RenderSliverList because RenderSliverFixedExtentList does not need to perform layout on its children to obtain their extent in the main axis and is therefore more efficient.
