how to handle large dataset like sproutcore
- by Nik
Hello all, I really don't have any substantial code to show here, actually, that's kinda why I am writing: I looked at the SproutCore demo, especially the Collection demo, on http://demo.sproutcore.com/sample_controls/, and am amazed by its loading 200,000 records to the page so easily. I tried using Rails to provide 200,000 records and in a completely blank HTML page with
<% @projects.each do |p| %
<%= p.title %
<% end %
that freezes the browser for seconds on my m1530 laptop with 4gb ram and t7700 256gb ssd.
Yet the sproutcore demo does not freeze and takes less than 3 seconds to load.
What do you think the one technique they are using to enable this is?
Thanks!
