virtual scrolling / react-window

[obust]

When working with large data table the good practice is to implement some kind of virtual scrolling

Virtual scrolling help with the following issues:

• Slow down the application due to excessive DOM nodes.
• Increase memory consumption as all elements stay in memory.
• Reduce performance by affecting scrolling smoothness.

React has the react-window library for that purpose.

Would it be possible to have reactpy-window ? Maybe tweak react-window to make it work with a python backend ?

Yes, it would be possible. However, to make this compatible with server-side components, you'd need to get creative with the client-to-server communication.
