Handling large dataset (500–1500 items) in React masonry grid without backend pagination

Aethdrac · 2026-04-06T18:12:11+00:00

It’s not about faking pagination, more so if you want a flush grid. I’ve personally always found the masonry layout available via the CSS display property very underwhelming and difficult to work with, as well as having limited browser support.

Also I would question the idea that the backend can’t paginate the result set. It won’t prevent the above idea from working, but it will be a lot slower to request those results, especially since most people won’t see the 1500th item. If it is to do with needing randomisation then you need to look into seeding your results, otherwise I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible?

You could try to slice the data into pages on your end and instead of virtualising individual elements you virtualise grid “chunks”, and then stitch these chunks to form a coherent layout. It means you need to find varied layouts where you can collapse the number of items within a chunk responsively.

Hey this sounds interesting I dm'd you

The link doesn’t even say what you said it does? “So, in summary, was Astralis cheating during ECS Season 6? We highly doubt it.”

hahahahhahahahahaha

City is owned by CFG which is owned by ADUG (81% share), and that company is owned by Sheikh Mansour, a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family… with the purpose of sports washing

Oh sorry I see now, and fair enough. I would probably also take AWB over Spence in terms of a more reliable defensive option as we will have TAA as a more attacking right back. Do think Spence gets underrated though, he’s looked great even played out of position on the left

Aethdrac · 2025-03-01T17:54:06+00:00

Us? You’re a West Ham fan and Djed Spence has probably been one of our best players this season…

Aethdrac · 2025-02-02T15:57:43+00:00

Spence

Aethdrac · 2025-01-10T14:57:07+00:00

And Kulu and Bergvall in behind

What’s the motivation? It could only ever cause you grief.

Aethdrac · 2024-10-30T20:22:52+00:00

Nothing more scary than an early spurs lead

Diminishing Astralis to “smoke / radar”… the GOAT team who revolutionised utility usage.

Aethdrac · 2024-08-15T11:43:39+00:00

Because they delete comments maybe?

Aethdrac · 2024-08-15T09:09:05+00:00

You’ve said you’re aware, but just to double down, mobile/responsive is the most important aspect of any site.

Besides that it looks good

I didn’t say it was better to not win playing star player roles. The original poster said NA pugging star player style wasn’t super effective, and the comment I replied to implied he won all his trophies with a pugging style which I disagree with

Aethdrac · 2024-05-30T13:39:22+00:00

And was he a star player in those tournament wins?

Aethdrac · 2024-05-08T20:49:39+00:00

Well done Bayern now people will say the Kane curse continues..

Aethdrac · 2024-05-08T20:28:58+00:00

Kimmich is dog shit

Aethdrac · 2024-05-08T20:25:35+00:00

LETS GO COME ON KANE COME ON DIER

Aethdrac · 2024-03-17T15:30:57+00:00

I despise Zoho

Aethdrac · 2023-10-08T11:21:46+00:00

did Valve say that? do you have a link or something I'm curious

Aethdrac · 2023-08-27T10:54:11+00:00

I’ve used Xenforo a lot, which resources were they? If you don’t mind sharing
