swap data in and out of the dom as the user navigates the table

Original Request:

from Leif Hanack via angular google group:

"Cool. Do you plan to support big data sets by having only the viewable entries present as DOM elements? This was a nice feature from ng-grid in some use cases. Thanks"

Would anyone use this feature in a production app? I don't currently need it, but it sounds useful.

Hi David, yes we would use it. Currently our "workaround" is to use ng-infinitescroll. Our use case is to do some frontend filtering on a potentially big list of items. With ng-infinitescroll we only show the first items and load more when scrolling. If the user would scroll to the end of the list, his browser would suffer:) A solution/alternative for this corner-case would be great.

Regards, Leif

Thanks Leif, changing to new-feature. I'll implement it soon.

Recommend looking at angular-virtual-scrolling for a simple way to implement exactly this.
