Yes, this is use case is a strange omission considering the solution presented.
I was able to. Maybe it's a browser issue?
I just tried again. Can't drag the scroll slider. Latest OSX Chrome.

#32This looks great. Can anybody recommend a similar library (i.e. lazy-rendering table component) that either doesn't depend on a JS framework or uses backbone.js? I know Slickgrid but find it a bit too clunky on the whole, and re-styling it is awkward since its DOM isn't exactly straightforward.

#33Nice. One issue is that the common idiom of cntrl+f is going to be broken with this. Would be awesome if the table supported a search box of some sort.

#34A feature rich, reliable table view in SproutCore (from which Ember was forked) has been a highly requested feature for at least 4 years. I'm glad that someone has finally done so, but I am also disappointed that it was so difficult.
This is incorrect. Ember.js is not a fork of SproutCore, and they share no code. Ember.js just borrows some of the best features of SproutCore, like bindings and computed properties. Additionally, the Addepar guys put this together in a few weeks. I'm unsure where your claim that this was difficult is coming from.
Perhaps they no longer share code, but they share architecture which was responsible for the lack of table view in SproutCore. The history of the two projects is long and complicated, and most of the people working on Ember were SproutCore developers. Ember was even "SproutCore 2.0" for a long time.
SproutCore's current table view demo still stutters and lacks the features of the table view featured here[1]. If the Addepar guys put this together quickly, it's because there are no longer architectural road blocks preventing them.

Tom is one of the two main developers you're talking about when you say "most of the people working on Ember were SproutCore developers."
I think the "lack of architectural road blocks" is called ember.js. If you're working with Sproutcore and haven't spent time with ember.js, you should take a look. It has a bit of a learning curve but it's very powerful once you get past that. The guys who built the table would tell you that instead of being an architectural road block, ember.js was the power that made the table possible. That's why it's called ember-table.

I am well aware that he is, but since he didn't say so it sounds accusatory if I point that out. If you read my original comment, I said that SproutCore has been missing a table view for years, and that it wasn't an oversight but something that people attempted to fix a number of times. So if Ember has solved the problem, I am glad it has finally happened. But as someone who has been trying to build projects on SproutCore for years and finding roadblocks, this was long overdue. Perhaps Ember has attained the maturity that SproutCore never seemed to be able to find.

That's what it means to be a roadblock... if you don't run into one, you would never imagine that there could have been one. A roadblock is what happens when you attempt to do something logical and find out that due to something outside of your control, it's realistically never going to happen.

#37The fastest table I've seen was this http://ukijs.org/examples/core-examples/table/
To be fair, that table is less than 1/100th the size. I'm not surprised it's faster.
Re: Show HN: Ember Table by Addepar
#38Sorry but if the project doesn't even mention SlickGrid (e.g. how does compare to it) I can't take it seriously.
Re: Show HN: Ember Table by Addepar
#39Congratulations to the guys at Addepar on releasing this. They have been contributing an amazing amount of stuff to the Ember.js community—not least of which is helping us build Ember Data. Probably my favorite thing about Ember is that it isn't built by academics toiling away in an ivory tower; it's driven by real-world problems that web developers are facing. Our goal is to provide a set of tools that allow develop…

So your favorite thing about your project is that it was written by you?
Re: Show HN: Ember Table by Addepar
#40Your table looks very nice, thanks a lot for sharing. We have one in our app that is pretty similar, but not as well developed. I am considering replacing the one in our app with this one.
My only reservation is adding underscore.js to our codebase. Not that I have anything against underscore, but we already Ember, jQuery and jQuery UI. I'm hesitant to add another major dependency. How hard of a dependency is Underscore.js? Could it be easily separated.
