Can clusterize.js be used with datatables.net?

1.8k Views Asked by At

I load a large amount of data into my tables.
I am using datatables to help with search, sorting, pagination, etc. With the large amount of data (and styled rows), it can often take a long time to render in the browser.

Is it possible to use Clusterize.js with datatables.net to improve rendering speeds?

Nope, long story short - it's not worth the effort

Since you need such rich functionality as DataTable provides and infinity-scrolling feature Clusterize provides, consider switching to library that has both of these, such as SlickGrid. Despite tha fact that main repo is abandoned, there are actively maintaining fork. See examples I am pretty sure you'll find there what you are looking for.

I know it's not the answer you are waiting for because I know the pain of switching an existing implementation which works, but I don't think anyone will take over the responsibility of combining those two libraries in nearest future.
