## 🐞 Problem We've identified several issues with the TableWidgetV2's infinite scroll functionality: - **Stale Data After Toggle** When users enable infinite scroll for the first time, the table's state and cached data aren't properly reset, potentially leading to incorrect data display and inconsistent behavior. - **Height Changes Breaking Existing Data** When a table's height is increased while infinite scroll is enabled, the existing cached data becomes invalid due to changing offsets, but the table wasn't resetting its state accordingly. - **Empty Initial View** When loading a table with infinite scroll enabled, rows were not visible during the initial load until data was fetched, creating a jarring user experience. - **Disabled Properties Still Rendering Controls** Property controls that should be disabled (based on section disabling conditions) were still being rendered and active, causing unexpected behavior. --- ## ✅ Solution ### 1. Implement Table Reset on Infinite Scroll Toggle Added a new method `resetTableForInfiniteScroll()` that properly resets the table's state when infinite scroll is enabled. This method: - Clears cached table data - Resets the "end of data" flag - Resets all meta properties to their default values - Sets the page number back to `1` and triggers a page load ```ts resetTableForInfiniteScroll = () => { const { infiniteScrollEnabled, pushBatchMetaUpdates } = this.props; if (infiniteScrollEnabled) { // reset the cachedRows pushBatchMetaUpdates("cachedTableData", {}); pushBatchMetaUpdates("endOfData", false); // reset the meta properties const metaProperties = Object.keys(TableWidgetV2.getMetaPropertiesMap()); metaProperties.forEach((prop) => { if (prop !== "pageNo") { const defaultValue = TableWidgetV2.getMetaPropertiesMap()[prop]; this.props.updateWidgetMetaProperty(prop, defaultValue); } }); // reset and reload page this.updatePageNumber(1, EventType.ON_NEXT_PAGE); } }; ``` --- ### 2. Reset on Height Changes Added a check in `componentDidUpdate` to detect height changes and reset the table when needed: ```ts // Reset widget state when height changes while infinite scroll is enabled if ( infiniteScrollEnabled && prevProps.componentHeight !== componentHeight ) { this.resetTableForInfiniteScroll(); } ``` --- ### 3. Improved Empty State Rendering Modified the `InfiniteScrollBodyComponent` to show placeholder rows during initial load by using the maximum of `rows.length` and `pageSize`: ```ts const itemCount = useMemo( () => Math.max(rows.length, pageSize), [rows.length, pageSize], ); ``` This ensures the table maintains its expected height and appearance even before data is loaded. --- ### 4. Fixed Property Control Rendering Fixed the `PropertyControl` component to respect the `isControlDisabled` flag by conditionally rendering the control: ```ts {!isControlDisabled && PropertyControlFactory.createControl( config, { onPropertyChange: onPropertyChange, // ...other props }, // ...other args )} ``` This prevents disabled controls from being rendered and potentially causing issues. --- These improvements significantly enhance the stability and user experience of **TableWidgetV2**'s infinite scroll functionality.
