Disabled all validations

[jbethuel]

We are experiencing performance hit because each of the fields are being validate. Is it possible to have an option to disable all validations entirely? And use onPreSave callback handle it? Thanks

Hi @jbethuel
We need to keep the field validation for enabling the error displays.
We are aware of performance issues in very large forms and are working on virtualising the forms to render only the necessary fields, which should greatly improve performance.
This will be likely included in version 2.0

@fgatti675 From what I've seen the biggest slowdowns are coming from re-rendering the table cells and a lot of makeStyles, not form validations. For example, even a small form (<10 fields, no arrays or complex objects) can start taking several seconds to open the drawer after just clicking around on a few different rows, but the validations are only run after the drawer opens. I captured the performance snapshot of that operation and it's spending almost all of its time in TableCellInternal doing the useCellStyles makeStyles call. Is that re-render hit also happening because of the form validation performance issues?

Hi everyone, we are working on multiple performance enhancements for version 2.0
Besides other changes we are also including a schema editor.
You can take a peek at the next version here: https://demo.next.firecms.co/
The code is in the next branch
We will release an alpha version when the docs are ready!

UPDATE

I was able to determine that the drastic slowdowns I was seeing are completely caused by including React.StrictMode with the initial app render!

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Removing the React.StrictMode wrapper completely took care of that issue, so now performance matches your example app in the repo.
