Question 1

How do I add pagination to List.js?

Accepted Answer

List.js doesn't have built-in pagination, but you can implement it manually by slicing the data and using the API to update the list. The documentation provides examples with custom JavaScript for this.

Question 2

Does List.js work with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

While technically integrable, List.js isn't designed for component-based architectures and may conflict with reactivity systems. It's better suited for vanilla JavaScript or simple HTML enhancements.

Question 3

List.js vs DataTables: which is better for simple tables?

Accepted Answer

List.js is lighter and easier for basic search, sort, and filter on existing HTML, while DataTables offers more features out-of-the-box but is heavier. Choose List.js for minimalism or DataTables for comprehensive functionality.

Question 4

How to filter items by multiple criteria in List.js?

Accepted Answer

Use the filter method with custom functions that combine criteria, or chain multiple filters. The documentation includes examples for complex filtering logic.

Question 5

Is List.js good for large datasets with thousands of rows?

Accepted Answer

It's designed to handle thousands of items efficiently, but for optimal performance with very large datasets, you'll need to manually add pagination or virtualization, as these aren't built-in.

Question 6

How to update items dynamically after fetching from an API?

Accepted Answer

Use List.js API methods like add(), remove(), or update() to modify the list based on new data, and trigger a refresh to reflect changes without full reinitialization.
