UI3 UTable horizontal scroll

Hello Kapa My UTable won't scroll horizontally when it's bigger that it's container :/ Here is my code : https://github.com/ribbityfrog/steamfrog-front/blob/main/app/components/kit/table/index.vue And the component Flex if you need it : https://github.com/ribbityfrog/steamfrog-front/blob/main/app/components/structure/Flex.vue Thanks 🙂

Hi @Omnislash. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- I'll help you with your UTable horizontal scrolling issue. Based on the knowledge sources, the UTable component in Nuxt UI should support horizontal scrolling when content exceeds its container width. Looking at your code, I notice a few potential issues that might be preventing horizontal scrolling: 1. The UTable component needs to have appropriate CSS to enable horizontal scrolling. In your component structure, you're wrapping the UTable in a Flex component which might be constraining its width. 2. For tables with many columns or wide content, you might need to explicitly set overflow properties. Here are some suggestions to fix the horizontal scrolling issue: 1. Add an overflow property to your container div:

<div class="overflow-x-auto w-full">
  <UTable :data="data" :columns="columns" />
</div>

<div class="overflow-x-auto w-full">
  <UTable :data="data" :columns="columns" />
</div>

2. You can also try using the column-pinning feature from Nuxt UI to pin certain columns while allowing others to scroll:

<UTable 
  v-model:column-pinning="columnPinning" 
  :data="data" 
  :columns="columns" 
  class="flex-1" 
/>

<UTable 
  v-model:column-pinning="columnPinning" 
  :data="data" 
  :columns="columns" 
  class="flex-1" 
/>

Where columnPinning is a ref like:

const columnPinning = ref({
  left: ['id'], // Pin ID column to left
  right: [] // Pin nothing to right
})

const columnPinning = ref({
  left: ['id'], // Pin ID column to left
  right: [] // Pin nothing to right
})

3. Make sure your container has a defined width (either fixed or relative) and that it's not being constrained by parent elements. 4. Check if your Flex component is setting any properties that might prevent overflow, such as overflow: hidden. The Nuxt UI Table component is built on top of TanStack Table, which supports horizontal scrolling by default when properly configured. You can find more examples and configuration options in the Nuxt UI Table documentation. If you're still having issues, you might want to try setting a specific width on your table columns or using the column pinning feature to ensure critical columns remain visible while allowing the rest to scroll. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai it works with like max-w-[600px] or max-w-[600px], but I want the div containing the Table to big as big as its containor

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand you want the table container to take up the full width of its parent container while still enabling horizontal scrolling when needed. Based on the Nuxt UI documentation, the UTable component has specific styling for its root element that includes overflow-auto to handle scrolling:

table: {
  slots: {
    root: 'relative overflow-auto',
    // other styles...
  }
}

table: {
  slots: {
    root: 'relative overflow-auto',
    // other styles...
  }
}

To make your table container take up the full width of its parent while maintaining horizontal scroll capability, you can try these approaches: 1. Use w-full on the container div along with overflow-auto:

<div class="w-full overflow-auto">
  <UTable :data="data" :columns="columns" />
</div>

<div class="w-full overflow-auto">
  <UTable :data="data" :columns="columns" />
</div>

2. If you're using the Flex component as a wrapper, make sure it's not constraining the width:

<Flex direction="column" class="w-full">
  <div class="w-full overflow-auto">
    <UTable :data="data" :columns="columns" />
  </div>
</Flex>

<Flex direction="column" class="w-full">
  <div class="w-full overflow-auto">
    <UTable :data="data" :columns="columns" />
  </div>
</Flex>

3. You can also directly apply classes to the UTable component using the ui prop to override the default styling:

<UTable 
  :data="data" 
  :columns="columns" 
  :ui="{ root: 'relative w-full overflow-auto' }" 
/>

<UTable 
  :data="data" 
  :columns="columns" 
  :ui="{ root: 'relative w-full overflow-auto' }" 
/>

The key is to ensure that: 1. The container has w-full to take up all available width 2. The container has overflow-auto to enable scrolling when content exceeds the width 3. No parent elements are constraining the width with fixed dimensions This approach should allow your table to be as wide as its container while still enabling horizontal scrolling when the table content exceeds the available width. Let me know if this helps with your specific implementation! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I see you're still having issues with the horizontal scrolling in your UTable component. Let's analyze the problem based on the provided code. Looking at your current implementation, I notice a few issues: 1. You're using scroll-auto class which isn't a standard Tailwind class - it should be overflow-auto instead. 2. The Flex component you're using might be constraining the width. Looking at your Flex component code, it uses flex flex-col items-center when the col and center props are true, which could be limiting the width of child elements. Here's what I suggest:

<div class="overflow-auto w-full bg-red-950">
    <UTable
        ref="table"
        v-model:column-visibility="columnVisibility"
        v-model:global-filter="globalFilter"
        v-model:sorting="sorting"
        v-model:pagination="paginationConfig"
        class="w-full bg-green-950"
        :pagination-options="{ getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel() }"
        :data="data"
        :columns="preparedColumns"
        loading-state="carousel"
        :sticky="props.sticky">
        <template v-for="(slotFn, slotName) in instance?.slots" #[slotName]="slotProps">
            <slot :name="slotName" v-bind="slotProps || {}" />
        </template>
    </UTable>
</div>

<div class="overflow-auto w-full bg-red-950">
    <UTable
        ref="table"
        v-model:column-visibility="columnVisibility"
        v-model:global-filter="globalFilter"
        v-model:sorting="sorting"
        v-model:pagination="paginationConfig"
        class="w-full bg-green-950"
        :pagination-options="{ getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel() }"
        :data="data"
        :columns="preparedColumns"
        loading-state="carousel"
        :sticky="props.sticky">
        <template v-for="(slotFn, slotName) in instance?.slots" #[slotName]="slotProps">
            <slot :name="slotName" v-bind="slotProps || {}" />
        </template>
    </UTable>
</div>

If this still doesn't work, the issue might be with the parent Flex component. According to the Nuxt UI Table documentation, the UTable component already has overflow-auto applied to its root element by default:

table: {
  slots: {
    root: 'relative overflow-auto',
    base: 'min-w-full overflow-clip',
    // other styles...
  }
}

table: {
  slots: {
    root: 'relative overflow-auto',
    base: 'min-w-full overflow-clip',
    // other styles...
  }
}

Try modifying your Flex component usage:

<Flex col class="w-full gap-y-4"> <!-- Remove 'center' prop -->
  <div class="w-full overflow-auto">
    <UTable ... />
  </div>
</Flex>

<Flex col class="w-full gap-y-4"> <!-- Remove 'center' prop -->
  <div class="w-full overflow-auto">
    <UTable ... />
  </div>
</Flex>

The center prop in your Flex component adds items-center which aligns children in the center of the cross axis, potentially constraining their width. By removing this prop, you allow the child elements to take their natural width. If you need to maintain the centering for other elements but not the table, you might need to wrap just those other elements in a separate Flex component with the center prop. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai isn't it the same with just wrapping the UTable in a div, so the UTable isn't affected by the Flex ?

kapa.ai•4d ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you're absolutely right. Wrapping the UTable in a div should prevent it from being directly affected by the Flex component's constraints, particularly the items-center property that comes from the center prop. Your approach is valid and should work:

<Flex col center class="gap-y-4">
  <div class="w-full overflow-auto">
    <UTable ... />
  </div>
</Flex>

<Flex col center class="gap-y-4">
  <div class="w-full overflow-auto">
    <UTable ... />
  </div>
</Flex>

The key points here are: 1. The wrapper div with w-full ensures it takes up the full width of its parent container 2. The overflow-auto on the wrapper div enables horizontal scrolling when needed 3. This wrapper div isolates the UTable from the Flex component's centering behavior This is a common pattern when you need to maintain a specific layout structure but also need to override certain behaviors for specific components. The wrapper div acts as a buffer between the Flex component's alignment properties and the UTable. If you're still experiencing issues with this approach, it might be worth checking if there are any other CSS properties or parent containers that could be affecting the layout. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

        </div>

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I see you're still having issues with the horizontal scrolling for your UTable component. Let's try a different approach based on the Nuxt UI Table documentation. Looking at the examples from the Nuxt UI Table documentation, I notice that for tables with horizontal scrolling needs, they often use specific styling approaches. Here are a few more targeted solutions to try: 1. Try setting a minimum width on the table itself to force horizontal scrolling:

<div class="w-full overflow-auto bg-red-950">
    <UTable
        ref="table"
        v-model:column-visibility="columnVisibility"
        v-model:global-filter="globalFilter"
        v-model:sorting="sorting"
        v-model:pagination="paginationConfig"
        class="min-w-[800px]" <!-- Set a minimum width that exceeds container -->
        :pagination-options="{ getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel() }"
        :data="data"
        :columns="preparedColumns"
        loading-state="carousel"
        :sticky="props.sticky">
        <!-- slots -->
    </UTable>
</div>

<div class="w-full overflow-auto bg-red-950">
    <UTable
        ref="table"
        v-model:column-visibility="columnVisibility"
        v-model:global-filter="globalFilter"
        v-model:sorting="sorting"
        v-model:pagination="paginationConfig"
        class="min-w-[800px]" <!-- Set a minimum width that exceeds container -->
        :pagination-options="{ getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel() }"
        :data="data"
        :columns="preparedColumns"
        loading-state="carousel"
        :sticky="props.sticky">
        <!-- slots -->
    </UTable>
</div>

2. You could also try modifying the column definitions to ensure they have explicit widths:

const preparedColumns = columns.map(column => ({
  ...column,
  meta: {
    ...column.meta,
    width: column.meta?.width || '150px' // Set default width for columns
  }
}))

const preparedColumns = columns.map(column => ({
  ...column,
  meta: {
    ...column.meta,
    width: column.meta?.width || '150px' // Set default width for columns
  }
}))

3. Another approach is to use the column pinning feature which inherently supports horizontal scrolling:

<UTable
    ref="table"
    v-model:column-pinning="columnPinning"
    v-model:column-visibility="columnVisibility"
    v-model:global-filter="globalFilter"
    v-model:sorting="sorting"
    v-model:pagination="paginationConfig"
    :pagination-options="{ getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel() }"
    :data="data"
    :columns="preparedColumns"
    loading-state="carousel"
    :sticky="props.sticky">
    <!-- slots -->
</UTable>

<UTable
    ref="table"
    v-model:column-pinning="columnPinning"
    v-model:column-visibility="columnVisibility"
    v-model:global-filter="globalFilter"
    v-model:sorting="sorting"
    v-model:pagination="paginationConfig"
    :pagination-options="{ getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel() }"
    :data="data"
    :columns="preparedColumns"
    loading-state="carousel"
    :sticky="props.sticky">
    <!-- slots -->
</UTable>

With a columnPinning ref:

const columnPinning = ref({
  left: [], // Pin columns to left if needed
  right: [] // Pin columns to right if needed
})

const columnPinning = ref({
  left: [], // Pin columns to left if needed
  right: [] // Pin columns to right if needed
})

4. If none of these solutions work, you might need to inspect your application with browser developer tools to see if there are any CSS conflicts or unexpected behaviors affecting the table's layout. The UTable component is built on TanStack Table which should support horizontal scrolling by default, so there might be something specific in your application's CSS or layout structure that's preventing it from working as expected. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
