web-client-ui VS react-virtualized

Yes, it wasn't painless, but it has substantially improved our build time and overall been a good move. You can see the PR for our migration: https://github.com/deephaven/web-client-ui/pull/711

Deephaven is open source. It's fundamental transport API (https://deephaven.io/barrage/docs/) and JavaScript Web-UI harness (https://github.com/deephaven/web-client-ui) are Apache-licensed; its core engine is source-available, with a single restriction that will have no impact on parties using it for their own interest.

You may increase the rendering efficiency of tabular and huge list data by using the React Virtualized module. React apps perform better overall when the quantity of requests and DOM elements is limited. React Virtualized is comparable to many other tools; however, what sets it apart from the competition is the sheer volume of features and excellent upkeep.

17.react-virtualized

If you have been using React for awhile, you may have heard of the infamous virtualisation library react-window or it's predecessor react-virtualized

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.
