I'm trying to imitate virtual scrolling (table cell recycling) in an Ionic app for performance reasons. In my app, I have some screens that have hundreds of items with images. For this reason, I can't display them all at the same time. The virtualScroll component in Ionic should do the trick but sadly there's a bug that doesn't allow it to work with dynamic pipes at the moment.
I'd like to build my own virtual scroll technique but I don't think I'm up for creating my own legit virtual scroll. My question is this: Can I imitate virtual scroll by doing display: none, along with a set height to the parent component on the items that are not in the viewport? Would this achieve some of the performance improvements that an all out virtual scroll would achieve?
