Pagination (suggestion)

[ravi-teja-nani]

If the number of cards increases no need to render all cards at once, instead you can only show few cards in view and remaining in filters, search, pagination.

This is a good suggestion. I think we need to consider implementing it.

How might you implement this, with the owner's objective of keeping all cards loaded in the frontend itself, and not using a DB?

Yes, we know that the owner won't use db for now. For performance we can consider virtualisation. We can keep data in list format. And render the next set of cards only when needed.

Assume you are implementing search functionality, when you find a match then you can dynamically construct cards.

Hello there!
Now that the user base is growing and this project needs to add more terms and concepts to the list, I think it'd be a good idea to switch to a database.

Would this increase the complexity of the project? Or, should we create a JSON file with a list of terms and automatically create cards in HTML? - Refer to Issue #7

I'm currently testing the Firebase database for the project, and will keep you updated.

We can use markdown files :D

I submitted my PR regarding pagination.

[RayMathew]

Just a heads up, any PR should wait until #38 is resolved.

[Ibrahim-Faisal15]

Can you guys have a peek at my PR.

@Ibrahim-Faisal15, the issue with the switch to a content-driven framework has been resolved in ticket #28. Do not create a new ticket until the issue with the switch to a content-driven framework is resolved in ticket #38.

Hey people! Is anyone working on the pagination support? I think it's high time we look into that side as we have around 254 cards in the DOM getting rendered. As the terms increase, the number of DOM elements that gets loading in the single go is going to get increased.

As @Buzzpy mentioned are we going towards firebase or should we try pagination in front end itself. I can do a POC if we are open to doing pagination on FE.
