Glide Data Grid VS django-tables2

Why do you want to render to canvas?

Perspective seems to be the most performant html table. It is more focused on extremely fast updates than styling, although it looks good.

Glide is a newcomer that also renders to canvas.

What we are trying to build is a component that will help us to render a million rows in a ReactJs App. We make use of several techniques that are being used by other products such as google sheets and glide data grid app to achieve it.

Can you give examples of better JS renderers?

What is needed for performance of traditional GUI app rendering? I'm particularly interested in table rendering. Glide and Perspective are both canvas based renderers, but I haven't dug into the internals.

We ran into the same issue! We actually implemented a feature we joking call clown-car scrolling to handle this. If you want to steal the basics of it you can see it here: https://github.com/glideapps/glide-data-grid/blob/main/packa...

Feel free to steal and improve, we only enable the clown-car mode when the desired scrollable area is larger than what a browser can support. With our implementation scrolling is still handled by the browser, but the scroll location can be subtly recomputed as you go from time to time. We only do this when interacting with the scrollbar directly to avoid weird artifacts like scrolling feeling faster than normal.

I maintain glide-data-grid. I'd love to be in consideration for your use case. If you have features that are not supported in our current or the upcoming 4.0.0 release I would love to hear about it.

Try Glide data grid

How does this compare to https://github.com/jieter/django-tables2? That one makes it really easy to display database models with column sorting and pagination.

The degree of reusability (Thanks to things like GenericForeignKey and the ubiquity of Django Templates and Django ORM, there are tons of reusable components like django-filter or django-tables)

In Django there is django-tables2 for example, that creates html table from database query.

(eg. "Django apps" like django-filter and django-tables2, which rely on being a slice across the ORM, controller layer, and templating engine.)

From the readthedocs tutorial, A few examples:

I don't see how Axum would enable something like django-tables2 or django-filter which has is vertically integrated with Django's ORM, routing layer, and template system.

I've used actix-web for stuff... but I'm just sick of constantly reinventing the rote boilerplate that things like django-tables2 and django-filter generate for me once I've declared whatever customizations I want.

django-tables2 - like crispy forms but for tables, abstracts away the need to render tables in a template.
