About

Riot-grid helped to create grids with millions of rows, but slowed down dramatically with lots of colums. Riot-grid2 is an attempt to resolve this limitation.

It works by rendering individual cells, removing them from the dom or re-using them when they are no longer visible. Each cell is absolutelly positioned. Read on for a more details on how it acheives this.

Min Dom changes

On first render

• Go through all cells and add those which are in the visible area

On scroll

• Go through current cells and work out which ones should be removed
• Store the keys of these cells in an 'unused' array
• Go though all cells and find those which are current not visible but should be
• Add new cells into the unused slots
• If there are more new cells than unusued, add more (for grid resizes)

Features to add

Keyboard

• down, select next, scroll to active
• up, select previous, scroll to active
• cmd+down, select next, in addition to last selected
• cmd+up, select previous, in addition to last selected
• shift click, select all between last select and clicked row

General

• make header 'edges' draggable to resize columns (perhaps make optional)

Callbacks

• on-dblclick - callback with array of selected rows and last double clicked row
