Hi there,
I am looking for a searchable drop down where the list should be infinite scrolled, by hitting api. If i put all 12000 records, it slows down the frontend, so items should be called on demand from api. There are more than 12000 items, i didnt find any proper clue on the internet. Can anyone please help here with any ideas or with any related article

What I have tried:

The same search is working with limited set of items.. but when coming to 12000 records, ui is not working

There's no way any user is going to scroll through 12000 items to find the one they want. Use a control which allows them to search for the correct item, and loads the matches via AJAX.

For example: Ajax (remote data) | Select2 - The jQuery replacement for select boxes[^]
