Who is using react-virtualized

[jgoux]

Hi,

I'm looking for a library providing an autocomplete/select element with virtual-scrolling.

So far I couldn't find one, so maybe we could ask around who is using react-virtualized and create a list from the answers? 🎉

Thanks for this great lib! 👍

Thanks @jgoux. :)

I'm a little unclear on what the action-item is for this issue. Are you looking for a type-ahead component built on top of react-virtualized? Or are you just curious who is using this library so far? (I am also curious.)

I've created a type-ahead component using react-virtualized and redux-search (a library that myself and a colleague released a couple of months ago) but I haven't considered open-sourcing it before.

Basically, I'm looking for this component : https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/autocomplete (material design themed) but using React. 😺

I also think virtual-scrolling should be the default when using tabular/list components, so your library seems to be the best choice I've seen.

I tried react-select, material-ui's SelectField/Autocomplete, react-toolbox's Autocomplete but no one is using virtual-scrolling.

Finally, I'm also curious to see which components are built with this library. 🔍

Ah, thanks for clarifying. :) I too am curious which components have been built so far with react-virtualized. I've heard of a couple of pretty cool things. I'd love to compile a list somewhere but I'm not sure how best to do that.

Have you considered filing a feature request against JedWatson/react-select or one of the other libraries to integrate with react-virtualized? I'd be happy to help on my end if the library owner was interested. react-virtualized offers a lot of useful features beyond just basic windowing (like scroll-to-item, keyboard navigation, etc.) that the libraries might find convenient.

The list could be shown either in a wiki page or in a specific section in the https://bvaughn.github.io/react-virtualized/ website ?

For the react-select / material-ui components, the idea of virtual-scrolling has been introduced in these issues :

• [SelectField][Dropdown Menu] Menu with many items performance much worse with popovers mui/material-ui#2787 (comment)
• Virtual scrolling to improve performance of Options JedWatson/react-select#771 (there is a PR for this one)

[bvaughn]

Oh neat. I hadn't realized that such issues had been opened already That's actually really cool to see. :)

Yeah, displaying the list of users / uses wouldn't be the problem. I'd be happy to showcase them. I meant more that I'm uncertain how to gather such a list. :)

Sorry for the misunderstanding!

I think making an issue + pinging members of the community with a lot of followers on Twitter to diffuse the info is a good start. 🌟

[bvaughn]

Sure. Let me close this issue then and create a new one (#147). (Clean slate.) I'll try to reach out on Twitter although I don't have much of a following. We'll see :)
