Object

The List type is a JavaScript type, typically a constructor function, that is used to contain a list of typed instances. List types usually are Array-like. An instance of type List is what's returned by [can-connect/constructor.hydrateList] to convert raw data into what's returned by getList.

const list = connection.hydrateList( {
    data: [ { id: 1, name: "raw data" } ]
} );

list; //-> an instance of List

The List type often has special methods used to interact with the collection of Instance instances.

const list = connection.hydrateList( {
    data: [ { id: 1, name: "raw data" } ]
} );

list.someSpecialMethod();

The list option is used to convert an Array of instances into the final List type.
