Description

Users experience problems working in text editor when they have a larger textfile, https://digdir.slack.com/archives/C09BLD1CRK8/p1787231379057949.
Even when it is 100 rows (texts) it is pretty laggy to work in text editor such as using search, sort or add/remove languages.

To solve this I added a debounce on the search field in a previous PR, #20094.
That solved some of the problem, but it keeps freezing when rendering the full list when search is cleared.

But with debounce and pagination together it solved the problem. We don't render the full textfile, but 25 rows for each pagination.
I experience this to be much more user friendly. I have understood we are going to do a revamp of text editor4, so i have kept it simpel.

Below I have tested with a app that contains 100 ish texts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added pagination to text lists, displaying up to 25 rows per page with navigation controls when needed.
    • Added text filtering across keys and translations.
    • Added debounced search, applying queries after a short delay while clearing search results immediately.
    • Search input now stays synchronised when its value is changed externally.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Clearing the search no longer allows a previously pending query to be applied.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The text editor now debounces search updates, synchronises local input state, filters rows through a shared utility, and paginates filtered results with StudioPagination.

Changes

Text editor navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debounced search behaviour
src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/constants.ts, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/TextEditor.tsx, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/TextEditor.test.tsx
TextEditor keeps a local search value. Non-empty queries use a 300 ms debounce. Empty queries update immediately. Tests cover timer behaviour and external query updates.
Filtered row pagination
src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/utils.ts, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/hooks/usePaginatedRows.ts, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/TextList.tsx, src/Designer/frontend/libs/studio-components/src/components/StudioTableRemotePagination/index.ts, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/utils.test.ts, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/hooks/usePaginatedRows.test.ts, src/Designer/frontend/packages/text-editor/src/TextList.test.tsx
TextList filters rows, limits results to 25 rows per page, and renders StudioPagination when multiple pages exist. Tests cover filtering, page navigation, reset behaviour, and page bounds.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 15cb0

The change localizes text-editor rendering and search work through pagination and debounce; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, so it is merge-ready after normal checks.

through to TextList. Remove the duplicate renderManyRows component-rendering
