The 10 Levels of Building a Data Grid - My 1 Year Journey of Building a Table.
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1uyvq9x/the_10_levels_of_building_a_data_grid_my_1_year/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I wanted to make this post because man...tables are way harder than they look. I documented my 1 year journey of optimizations on a stupid table for my Database GUI. I made everything from scratch like an idiot thinking it'd be easy but oh boy was I wrong... The article goes over all the optimizations I made to make my table render data smoothly without lagging. It goes from what data structures I used and the rendering optimizations I did. I used MongoDB Compass as a baseline since they use AG-Grid for their table and I'm pretty happy that my table feels way smoother than that (In my own testing)! But yeah, I never realized that there would be so much depth in making a performant table. PS. I decided not to use AG-Grid because there were a lot of customizations that I needed to do. I wanted column expansions ( if a field as an object or an array it would open columns to the right of it ). I also wanted an embedded text search where you could search for text within non visible columns (because they were in objects or arrays ) and AG Grid didn't really support that behavior so ..yeah. Anyways have a good read! <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Fun-Chicken6946 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Fun-Chicken6946)
