What is the Recommended Way to Render Many Items in General?

[Ri-gers]

Does anyone know what the go-to way is to render a large amount of items? An item would in my case be some String (like a name) which is represented by e.g. a Chip, Tag (like shown here) or an option in a Select component. Whenever a few hundred or thousand elements need to be rendered the loading time gets very bad. Lazy Loading could be a solution to this in general but how could you apply this to Domino-ui specifically? I have seen that work has recently been done for DataTable specifically, but how can this be adapted for other components like the above mentioned ones? Has anyone struggled with this before and found a way to deal with those performance issues?

In case of too many items there is few things you can do that are already available for you, the datable in specific feature is meant for loading a huge amount of records locally and have infinite scrolling. so for lookups/selects with large number of options try to use a different component or approach, for example :

• Use a SuggestBox with a filter, make sure your filter is fast enough to not become the bottleneck here.
• Use a lookup field: this is not a component we have but I did this in some real life apps, where the field opens a datatable in a dialog with full pagination and filtering feature and then the user select one record from the datatable as the filed value.

That's completely understandable and thanks for the explanation.
As I already told your colleague I'll discuss this internally with my team and manager probably this week or upcoming ones and will get back to you guys for more details. I would also appreciate more details regarding the options of funding vs domino-pro. But anyway, I think focusing on the performance for these will bring domino-ui even further ahead in general, it really is some great work

If that was directed at me, I don't think we received any message/email from you (except the response emoji to my reply).

You are right, sorry my bad, thought I directly responded there (please take the emoji as a placeholder then). The internal discussion has yet to take place, after that I'll send you a mail from my company account

@vegegoku @niloc132 I just sent you a mail regarding domino-ui-pro

@niloc132 Could you please confirm whether you got our emails from last week and before? Would appreciate any kind of update, thanks.
