Angular PrimeNG Table Horizontal Scrolling

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source library that consists of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. In this article, we will see Angular PrimeNG Table Horizontal Scrolling.

The Table Component is used to show some data to the user in the tabular form. When the table overflows the width of the viewport, the horizontal scrolling can be enabled by setting the scrollable property to “true” and the scrollDirection property to “horizontal” along with giving fixed width to the columns.

Syntax:

<p-table [value]="cars" [scrollable]="true" 
    scrollDirection="horizontal">
    <ng-template pTemplate="header">
        <tr>
            <th style="width: 300px">Car</th>
            <th style="width: 300px">Company</th>
            <th style="width: 300px">Vehicle Number</th>
            ...
        </tr>
    </ng-template>
    <ng-template pTemplate="body" let-car>
        <tr>
            <td style="width: 300px">{{car.name}}</td>
            <td style="width: 300px">{{car.company}}</td>
            <td style="width: 300px">{{car.number}}</td>
            ...
        </tr>
    </ng-template>
</p-table>
