FlatList supports ListItemComponent (it takes precedence over renderItem), and it is documented on the VirtualizedList page, but the FlatList page lists every other inherited List*Component prop except this one.

The FlatList page documents every inherited
List*Componentprop (ListEmptyComponent,ListFooterComponent,ListHeaderComponent,ItemSeparatorComponent) exceptListItemComponent, so it looks like the prop does not exist on FlatList.It does.
FlatList._rendererrenders<ListItemComponent {...props} />and falls back torenderItemonly when it is not set, so it also takes precedence when both are passed:https://github.com/react/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/Libraries/Lists/FlatList.js#L624
It is already documented on the VirtualizedList page. This adds the same entry to FlatList, in alphabetical position next to the other
List*Componentprops, and notes the precedence behaviour.Type is listed as
component, elementto match the prop's type and the neighbouring entries on the same page.
