Remote data (filter/sort/pagination)

Getting help Questions
1

Hello,

I’m new to Handsontable and looking to purchase a table/grid widget in the near future. Handsontable was in the lead, however my company has massive data sets (millions of rows, hundreds of columns) so remote data access including filtering, sort and pagination (ideally via infinite scroll) is a key requirement. I’ve searched a bunch and couldn’t find anything around how to implement this in Handsontable.

Could you please let me know if this functionality exists in either free or pro versions? If not, is this on the roadmap or is there any ETA on when this would be available? Given the complexity, I’m assuming this would not be possible to implement as a plugin, but I haven’t researched the plugin API yet…

Thank you!
Shanon

Hi @shanonvl
We do not offer an infinite scroll but using pagination surely increase a performance on a large data sets. Docs: https://docs.handsontable.com/pro/1.3.4/demo-paginating.html

I also think that it’s always better to test it by yourself as you’re the one who’s judging the level of performance.
