Pagination for everyone! And all things!

The UI / API should account for a large number of Applications and Tenants

Description

If you have many tenants, you'll also have many applications. There are several use cases we've seen exceeding 5k tenants.

Solution

The API and UI for Applications, Groups and Tenants should be paginated to account for this scenario and ensure the UI and API perform well.

We may also want to load these pages via AJAX.

• Pagination/Search for Tenants #2055
• Pagination/Search for Applications #2056
• Pagination/Search for Groups #2057
• Pagination/Search for Email Templates #2064
• Pagination/Search for Keys #2059
• Pagination/Search for API Keys #2060
• Pagination/Search for Identity Providers #2065
• Pagination/Search for User Comments #2061
• Pagination/Search for Themes #2058
• Pagination/Search for Webhooks #2066
• Pagination/Search for Lambdas #2067
• Pagination/Search for Consents #2068
• Pagination/Search for Forms #2193
• Pagination/Search for Forms Fields #2194
• Pagination/Search for Message Templates #2203
• Pagination/Search for Messages #2204
• Pagination for Report APIs #2231
• Possibility of retrieving all API Keys #1570 (needs arch discussion)

We may want to review caching tenants, but this should be avoided if possible.

This also extends into things like the "Add User Registration" form. The application select list seems to be sorted by application creation date, which can get "interesting" when you need to use it with a large number of applications. :) Even just an alpha sort there would be 👍

Thanks for the comment @Codelica - you're correct, this is an area that also needs improvement. We recently alphabetized the groups in Add Group Membership and in the Group selector on the User Search page.

We'll be sure to audit the front end for any selector such as this and either lazily load it or at least provide some sorting that makes sense.

I know we have some clients with 5k+ tenants, so not sure how we'll handle that in the UI as it relates to select boxes.

Maybe a typeahead select box? Something like this: https://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/examples/ ?
