AdaptTable for Ant Design

Row and column virtualization in Ant Design

Compose virtualize() and the table renders the rows in view plus a small overscan, whatever the dataset's size. virtualize({ virtualizeColumns: true }) does the same across, for column sets far wider than the window.

The header stays pinned, pinned columns stay put, and the scroll box scrolls — never the page. Sorting, filtering and selection keep working on the whole dataset rather than on what is drawn.

Nothing about the markup changes: it is the same Ant Design table, with the rows outside the window absent rather than hidden.

This is antd's own virtual table, not a second virtualizer over it: antd owns the scroller, so the adapter feeds it an explicit scroll size, drives infinite paging off antd's internal scroll position, and pins columns through antd's native fixed API.

The code

import { DataTable } from "@adapttable/antd";
import { virtualize } from "@adapttable/antd/virtualize";

export function Ledger({ rows, columns }) {
  return (
    <DataTable
      data={rows}
      columns={columns}
      rowKey={(row) => row.id}
      features={[virtualize({ virtualizeColumns: true })]}
      maxHeight={600}
      defaultColumnLayout={{ pinned: { name: "start" } }}
    />
  );
}
