use react-virtualized to optimize long lists?

[barbalex]

I need to build trees in two of my projects. After studying existing solutions I believe my way to go might be:

• use react-virtualized as shown here: example, code
• structure the data and animate the tree as done in react-treebeard

One of my projects will have lists with maximal 500 nodes to build per level. The other can have several thousand nodes per level though - probably too much to tackle without react-virtualized.

Just to explain: The primary way to find data / navigate to nodes will be by a search box. As the data is very hierarchical, the tree will usually still be helpful to show these hierarchies though - even though there can be lots of nodes in a few instances (but not generally).

Is there a specific reason why you don't use a tool like react-virtualized? Any chance react-treebeard might be updated to use a tool like react-virtualized?

I will probably not be able to offer a pull request for this functionality - my code will be too hacky and I will be very happy if/when I get my applications to work this way :-(

I would be nice if you'll support virtualized list
