itables (datatables.net) in marimo

[liquidcarbon]

I've long been a fan of jQuery-based DataTables.net and their pythonic wrapper itables.

They're extremely powerful and flexible and are significantly more performant compared to the tables offered in marimo.

I was not able to get them to render them inside Marimo directly, but you they can work in an iframe.

The iframe can also be pointed at another FastAPI endpoint serving such table in a mounted app scenario.
Was not able to make it work via iframe srcdoc.

mo.Html("""
<iframe src="https://liquidcarbon-duckdb-fastapi-gradio.hf.space/q?query_id=01HWDNFA8QTEA1Y1V229501RMF"
style="width: 900px; min-height: 540px;">
</iframe>
""")

Just going to leave this here in case others have feelings about these tables.

@liquidcarbon In what way are they more performant? Or rather, in what areas could the performance of marimo's native tables be improved?

If you try to display a dataframe with 10K rows, DataTables handles it easily (purely client side, can do 100K+ with SSR; YMMV depending on number of cols);
Marimo would take a while to respond.
