Possible implementation of a virtual list ? about svelte-headless-table

[bryanmylee]

Could you try something like this?

<script lang="ts">
  import VirtualList from 'svelte-tiny-virtual-list';
  import {createTable} from 'svelte-headless-table';

  const table = createTable();
  const columns = table.createColumns(...);
  const {rows} = table.createViewModel(columns);
</script>

<table>
  <thead>...</thead>
  <!-- use the virtual list component as `tbody` -->
  <!-- we can PR `asChild` or `as` support for `svelte-tiny-virtual-list` -->
  <VirtualList
    width="100%"
    height={600}
    itemCount={$rows.length}
    itemSize={50}>
    <svelte:fragment slot="item" let:index let:style>
      {@const row = $rows[index]}
      <Subscribe rowAttrs={row.attrs()}>
        <tr {style} {...rowAttrs}>
          {#each row.cells as cell (cell.id)}
            <Subscribe attrs={cell.attrs()} let:attrs>
              <td {...attrs}>
                <Render of={cell.render()} />
              </td>
            </Subscribe>
          {/each}
        </tr>
      </Subscribe>
    </svelte:fragment>
  </VirtualList>
</table>

Not really, since the package adds two DOM elements to manage it's list, thus breaking the header columns (not aligned)

@FluffyDiscord Full disclaimer, I've never used svelte-tiny-virtual-list before but it's probably there to provide the overflow behaviour. Looking at it's code, it provides slots for the header and footer so you could try:

<script lang="ts">
  import VirtualList from 'svelte-tiny-virtual-list';
  import {createTable} from 'svelte-headless-table';

  const table = createTable();
  const columns = table.createColumns(...);
  const {rows} = table.createViewModel(columns);
</script>

<!-- use the virtual list component as `table` -->
<!-- we can PR `asChild` or `as` support for `svelte-tiny-virtual-list` -->
<VirtualList
  width="100%"
  height={600}
  itemCount={$rows.length}
  itemSize={50}>
  <thead slot="header">...</thead>
  <svelte:fragment slot="item" let:index let:style>
    {@const row = $rows[index]}
    <Subscribe rowAttrs={row.attrs()}>
      <tr {style} {...rowAttrs}>
        {#each row.cells as cell (cell.id)}
          <Subscribe attrs={cell.attrs()} let:attrs>
            <td {...attrs}>
              <Render of={cell.render()} />
            </td>
          </Subscribe>
        {/each}
      </tr>
    </Subscribe>
  </svelte:fragment>
</VirtualList>
