Angular PrimeNG Table Horizontal Scrolling

Last Updated : 07 Sep, 2022

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>

Creating Angular application and Installing the Modules:

Step 1: Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new myapp

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. myapp, move to it using the following command.

cd myapp

Step 3: Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: After completing the above steps the project structure will look like the following.

Example 1: This example illustrates how to enable horizontal scrolling on a table whose width is overflowing the viewport.

app.component.html

<div style="text-align: center">
    <h2 style="color: green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
    <h4>Angular PrimeNG Table Horizontal Scrolling</h4>

    <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>
                <th style="width: 300px">Manufactured year</th>
                <th style="width: 300px">KM Driven</th>
                <th style="width: 300px">Price</th>
                <th style="width: 300px">Rating</th>
            </tr>
        </ng-template>
        <ng-template pTemplate="body" let-car>
