+### `CellRendererComponent`
+
+Each cell is rendered using this element. Can be a React Component Class, or a render function. The root component should always be a `CellContainer` which is also the default component used. Ensure that the original `props` are passed to the returned `CellContainer`. The `props` contain the following properties:
+
+- `onLayout`: Method for updating data about the real `CellContainer` layout
+- `index`: Index of the cell in the list, you can use this to query data if needed
+- `style`: Style of `CellContainer`, including:
+  - `flexDirection`: Depends on whether your list is horizontal or vertical
+  - `position`: Value of this will be `absolute` as that's how `FlashList` positions elements
+  - `left`: Determines position of the element on x axis
+  - `top`: Determines position of the element on y axis
+  - `width`: Determines width of the element (present when list is vertical)
+  - `height`: Determines height of the element (present when list is horizontal)
+
+When using with `react-native-reanimated`, you can wrap `CellContainer` in `Animated.createAnimatedComponent` (this is similar to using `Animated.View`):
+
+```ts
+const AnimatedCellContainer = Animated.createAnimatedComponent(CellContainer);
+return (
+  <FlashList
+    CellRendererComponent={(props) => {
+      return (
+          <AnimatedCellContainer {...props} style={...}>
+      );
+    }}
+  />
+);
+```
+
+```ts
+CellRendererComponent?: React.ComponentType<any> | undefined;
