Virtualization in Blazor TreeGrid Component

15 Dec 202324 minutes to read

Tree Grid allows to load large amount of data without performance degradation.

Row Virtualization

Row virtualization allows to load and render rows only in the content viewport. It is an alternative way of paging in which the rows will be appended while scrolling vertically. To setup the row virtualization, define the EnableVirtualization as true and content height by Height property.

The number of records displayed in the Tree Grid is determined implicitly by height of the content area and a buffer records will be maintained in the Tree Grid content in addition to the original set of rows.

Expand and Collapse state of any child record will be persisted.

Virtualization in Blazor TreeGrid

Managing records count

By default, the number of records rendered per page will be twice the TreeGrid’s height. You can customize the row rendering count using the PageSize and OverscanCount properties. Here’s an explanation of these properties:

  • PageSize:
    • The PageSize property determines the number of rows rendered per page in the tree grid.
    • It allows you to control how many rows are loaded and displayed at initial rendering and also while scrolling, helping to improve performance by reducing the number of DOM elements rendered.
  • OverscanCount:
    • The OverscanCount property is used to render additional rows before and after the tree grid’s current page rows.
    • During both virtual scrolling and initial rendering, extra rows are rendered to provide a buffer around the current page area. This minimizes the need for frequent rendering during scrolling, providing a smoother user experience.

NOTE

For example, when the OverscanCount is set to 5, only 5 buffer rows are rendered on the first and last pages. However, on in-between pages, a total of 10 buffer rows are rendered, with 5 rows allocated for both before and after the current page’s visible rows.

Column Virtualization

Column virtualization allows you to virtualize columns. It will render columns which are in the viewport. You can scroll horizontally to view more columns.

To setup the column virtualization, set the EnableVirtualization and EnableColumnVirtualization properties as true.

NOTE

Column’s Width is required for column virtualization. If column’s width is not defined then Tree Grid will consider its value as 200px.

Enable Cell placeholder during Virtualization

Displays placeholder in cells while data is loading in scrolling action. Also, the same set of DOM elements is reused to enhance performance.

To set up the enable cell placeholder during virtualization, define the EnableVirtualMaskRow as true along with the EnableVirtualization/EnableColumnVirtualization property.

The following image represents a tree grid with the mask row virtualization.
Blazor Tree Grid with Mask Row virtualization

For a better experience, the PageSize property of the TreeGridPageSettings class and the RowHeight property should be defined.

Limitations for Virtualization

  • While using column virtualization, column width should be in the pixel. Percentage values are not accepted.
  • Due to the element height limitation in browsers, the maximum number of records loaded by the tree grid is limited by the browser capability.
  • Cell selection will not be persisted in both row and column virtualization.
  • Stacked Header is not compatible with detail template.
  • Virtual scrolling is not compatible with detail template.
  • Row count of the page does not depend on the PageSize property of the TreeGridPageSettings. Row count for the page is determined by the Height given to the Tree Grid.
  • The virtual height of the tree grid content is calculated using the row height and total number of records in the data source and hence features which changes row height such as text wrapping are not supported. In order to increase the row height to accommodate the content then the row height can be specified as below to ensure all the table rows are in same height.
  • Programmatic selection using the SelectRows method is not supported in virtual scrolling.
