Limiting Rendering to Visible Parts by Using Virtualization
Explore how Blazor's virtualization feature limits rendering to only visible parts of large data sets, enhancing page load times and user experience. Understand how to implement the Virtualize component, set up item providers, and manage dynamic data loading to effectively handle extensive data in web applications.
We'll cover the following...
When we build web applications, we sometimes need to load a large number of data onto a web page. However, a large volume of data may affect the loading time of the page.
There are various solutions to this problem. One way is to use pagination, which allows us to load only one page of data at a time. When pagination is used, the dataset is split into separate pages, and we load only one page at a time. Alternatively, we can use infinite scroll and load more data asynchronously when we scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Blazor solves this problem by utilizing a feature known as virtualization. This feature allows us to load only as much data as can fit on the screen. However, other than that, the page looks as if the entire dataset has been loaded. It has a scroll bar that looks ...
