One of the features that the upcoming release of OnsenUI provides is the ons-lazy-repeat
component. Frequently we need to load lists of elements that are large enough to slow down the app or even freeze it until the loading is finished, worsening the user experience. Here is where the new ons-lazy-repeat
comes in.
ons-lazy-repeat
will consider the item heights in order to display enough elements on the screen but wait to load the rest of them, thus improving the loading times and the user experience while avoiding possible problems for slower devices or connections. Further, at the same time it loads new elements that come into view, ons-lazy-repeat
will also unload items when they are not visible anymore. With this approach, a list with millions of items can be rendered without a drop in performance.
