[Feature Request] Serverside virtualization - DashTable with Endless scrolling #781

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Dash table supports 'virtualization' to explore large datasets. Since these reside in a database i need callback hooks to retrieve records before or after depending on the scroll direction of the user. It is default in android and might inspire to do this in dash (if not already possible?): Android example: https://github.com/android/architecture-components-samples/tree/master/PagingWithNetworkSample and the concept is well explained here: https://youtu.be/BE5bsyGGLf4?t=966

All i try: get a smooth scrolling table (no scroll sidebar since potentiall endless) in both directions until backend db is exhausted in that direction. Clicking on buttons for next 'page' is outdated. Can we do this?
