ContextualFlowRow is a specialized version of the FlowRow layout. It is designed to enable users to make contextual decisions during the construction of FlowRow layouts.

This component is particularly advantageous when dealing with a large collection of items, allowing for efficient management and display. Unlike traditional FlowRow that composes all items regardless of their visibility, ContextualFlowRow smartly limits composition to only those items that are visible within its constraints, such as maxLines or maxHeight. This approach ensures optimal performance and resource utilization by composing fewer items than the total number available, based on the current context and display parameters.

While maintaining the core functionality of the standard FlowRow, ContextualFlowRow operates on an index-based system and composes items sequentially, one after another. This approach provides a perfect way to make contextual decisions and can be an easier way to handle problems such as dynamic see more buttons such as (N+ buttons).
