To optimize the display of a large list of records, I usually apply the following approaches:
-
Virtualization (virtual scroll) — only the elements visible on the screen are rendered, and the rest are not created in the DOM. This significantly reduces the load on the browser. Libraries: react-window, react-virtualized.
-
Pagination — I split the list into pages and load/display only the current page.
-
Lazy loading — I load data as the user scrolls (infinite scroll).
-
Render optimization — memoization of components, using keys to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
Example with react-window:
import { FixedSizeList as List } from 'react-window';
const Row = ({ index, style }) => (
<div style={style}>Element #{index}</div>
);
<List
height={500}
itemCount={10000}
itemSize={35}
width={300}
/>
This approach allows efficient handling of very large lists without lag.
