Optimizing React UI with react-window for large datasets

Facing UI freeze with 20k+ rows in React? Here’s how I solved it! I was working on a project where my API returned 5k–20k+ rows in one shot. Rendering them in a normal table made the UI freeze and scrolling lag badly. To solve this, I used react-window for virtualization (windowing). Only the rows visible in the viewport are rendered in the DOM, drastically reducing DOM nodes and improving performance. Result: Smooth scrolling, no UI freeze, app performance improved drastically! Here’s a small snippet of how I implemented it: Have you faced similar large dataset issues in React? How did you solve it?
