Best Practices
Performance Optimization
Performance Optimization
- Use virtual scrolling for large datasets (10,000+ rows)
- Implement pagination or infinite scrolling for better UX
- Optimize column rendering with proper memoization
- Use efficient data structures and avoid unnecessary re-renders
- Implement proper loading states and error handling
User Experience
User Experience
- Provide clear column headers with tooltips for complex data
