Entity Describer is slow with large number of entities

Open xfkoko opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Toolbox -> Entity Describer Is slow to load all entities at the beginning. Also writing in the search box is "laggy" or not showing any loading indication.

Cause: toolbox fetches entities from /api/catalog/entities, when catalog has large amount of entities the initial search can take long time and lags

Yep, aknowledged. Same problem as with the default catalog table.

Not as bad though. It does not make request to the database per stroke from what I observed.

Should implement the selector with virtualized list.
