A good production approach is to keep custom cell renderers as lightweight as possible and let jqxGrid handle virtualization instead of rendering a full Vue component for every visible cell.
For better scrolling performance:
Use jqxGrid’s built-in cellsrenderer for simple formatting (icons, badges, colors, links, etc.) whenever possible.
Avoid mounting a Vue component or slot for every cell, as this creates a large number of reactive instances that can significantly impact scrolling performance.
If you need interactive content, render Vue components only for the cells that truly require them (e.g., action columns) rather than across the entire grid.
Enable row/column virtualization and avoid forcing full grid re-renders when data changes.
Keep renderer logic pure and fast—avoid expensive computations, watchers, or asynchronous work inside cell renderers. Precompute display values before passing data to the grid if possible.
In production, a hybrid approach tends to scale best: use jqxGrid’s native rendering for the majority of cells, and reserve Vue-based custom renderers or slots for a small number of interactive columns. This preserves smooth scrolling while still allowing rich UI where it adds value.
