Reactjs-popup VS react-virtualized

2. Reactjs-popup

React Virtualized is a React library that helps you work with large lists and tabular data efficiently in React. It has more than 25K stars on GitHub and more than 2.5 million weekly downloads on NPM as of August 2023.

Use virtualization (e.g. react-virtualized) to prevent off-screen components from actually rendering.

Virtualization can be achieved using third-party libraries like react-window or react-virtualized. These libraries provide a way to render only the visible data and load more data as needed, resulting in faster application performance.

You can implement the same pattern on the web when dealing with large amount of data. There are some libraries for React that trivialize this, like https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized

Oh, right. I totally forgot to mention that– but the idea of "less rendering" in this case seems less like a Suspense concern and more like a windowing concern. I've written a few libraries for that stuff (react-window and react-virtualized) although there are others that may fit your needs better. Their main focus is limiting what you're rendering to more or less only what's on the screen at any given point. Combine that with memoized filtering and I would imagine you're set.

I've used the InfiniteLoader from react-virtualized in combination with useInfiniteQuery from @tanstack/react-query and it was relatively painless.

Great!

How does this compare to react-virtualized (https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized)? Does it handle tables (rendered with table elements and not div)? Does it support column virtual scrolling?

If you have trouble rendering a huge list of items, what you probably want to do is to only render a subset of it. This can by achieved by doing infinite scroll, or by using heavier stuff like react-virtualized and react-window are great libs to achieve this.

There are also several libraries that allow us to create virtualized lists but there are 2 that stand out from the rest: react-virtualized and react-window. Both libraries are from Brian Vaughn who is one of the developers of the React team.
