I would suggest using ng-grid - an angular high-performant data grid for rendering rows and really shines when you have lots of rows, it has a lot of nice features like filtering, sorting and of-course pagination.
Example:
html:
<body ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div class="gridStyle" ng-grid="gridOptions"></div>
</body>
js:
app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.filterOptions = {
filterText: "",
useExternalFilter: true
};
$scope.totalServerItems = 0;
$scope.pagingOptions = {
pageSizes: [250, 500, 1000],
pageSize: 250,
currentPage: 1
};
$scope.setPagingData = function(data, page, pageSize){
var pagedData = data.slice((page - 1) * pageSize, page * pageSize);
$scope.myData = pagedData;
$scope.totalServerItems = data.length;
if (!$scope.$$phase) {
$scope.$apply();
}
};
$scope.getPagedDataAsync = function (pageSize, page, searchText) {
setTimeout(function () {
var data;
if (searchText) {
var ft = searchText.toLowerCase();
$http.get('jsonFiles/largeLoad.json').success(function (largeLoad) {
data = largeLoad.filter(function(item) {
return JSON.stringify(item).toLowerCase().indexOf(ft) != -1;
});
$scope.setPagingData(data,page,pageSize);
});
} else {
$http.get('jsonFiles/largeLoad.json').success(function (largeLoad) {
$scope.setPagingData(largeLoad,page,pageSize);
});
}
}, 100);
};
$scope.getPagedDataAsync($scope.pagingOptions.pageSize, $scope.pagingOptions.currentPage);
$scope.$watch('pagingOptions', function (newVal, oldVal) {
if (newVal !== oldVal && newVal.currentPage !== oldVal.currentPage) {
$scope.getPagedDataAsync($scope.pagingOptions.pageSize, $scope.pagingOptions.currentPage, $scope.filterOptions.filterText);
}
}, true);
$scope.$watch('filterOptions', function (newVal, oldVal) {
if (newVal !== oldVal) {
$scope.getPagedDataAsync($scope.pagingOptions.pageSize, $scope.pagingOptions.currentPage, $scope.filterOptions.filterText);
}
}, true);
$scope.gridOptions = {
data: 'myData',
enablePaging: true,
showFooter: true,
totalServerItems: 'totalServerItems',
pagingOptions: $scope.pagingOptions,
filterOptions: $scope.filterOptions
};
});
