React Table Sticky Header without external library

-
Hello everyone, earlier we have developed a react table view solution for frozen column, if you missed the post please find it here :

https://reactcodes.blogspot.com/2019/11/react-fixed-table-header-code-without.html


Today we will try to make the table header fixed but make the data vertically scrollable, below demo shows how the final result will be :



To get the full codebase you may see my github link :

https://github.com/reactcodes/react-sticky-table


Explanation of process :

Initially if you clone the codebase within App.js you will see that I have separated table header items and put those in an array

const tableHeaders = [
"First Column",
"Second Column",
"Third Column",
"Fourth Column",
"Fifth Column",
"Sixth Column",
"Seventh Column",
"Eight Column",
]

Then I have the table data coming as a json

I have the stickytableheader component, I have passed both info to the component

<StickyHeaderTable headers={tableHeaders} data={json} />

Then I have taken two separate tables within that component, one is for the headers which I am not giving any scroll property via css and keeping it fixed

For second table I have wrapped the table within a div with class name container, giving div a fixed height if you need to increase the height of scrollable area you may adjust the css

Next I have made div's overflow-y property to scroll , that is the main trick

.container{
height: 200px;
overflow-y: scroll;
}

Well this is it, add some extra styles if you need, benefit of using this code is you don't need to rely on any 3rd party dependency, so in case of any bugs you can solve yourself.

Thanks for your time, please consider following my blog... :)

    Hello, I found your idea working, but there are few problems like if we reduce the width of window then horizontal scroll get added to the react table and hence another horizontal scroll get added to the header's table. In one case of react table, I'm using a checkbox to select all data present on that page, previously I was having an access to that data present on specific page using "getTheadTrProps" method but now I am unable to fetch that data and making that functionality working as the header and data tables are different now. Can you suggest any solution for above problems.

Hello everyone, in this article we are going to learn about proper use of redux saga, some effects of redux saga like put, call, take, takeEvery etc. Along with that we are going to separate saga files into watcher and worker for improving code readability. Let's create a simple react application with will render list of data on click of a button. Whenever user clicks on the button an endpoint is called and data is fetched from a remote server. We will use a sample endpoint provided by  reqres.in Finished application looks like below screenshot : Folder structure for this application will look like below: components : will have all the components we will use for the app components -> style : will have separate folder and file to hold the styling REDUX setup : constants  -> index : will hold all action types and constant values actions  -> index : will hold all the actions reducers -> index : is the root reducer reducers -> ot...

Hello everyone in this article we are going to take a look at how we can use redux with React Hooks. # What are React Hooks React Hooks are functions that let us hook into React State and lifecycle features from functional components. Using redux with react hooks conceptually is same as we use it in class components but syntax wise they are bit different To learn about this today we are going to create a simple ToDo List Application, here is a quick look Use create-react-app to initialise a react app and install dependencies  redux, react-redux You will have basic react app folder structure by now. So let's create the redux store import { createStore } from 'redux' ; const INITIAL_STATE = { data : [ 'Get up early' , 'Have Breakfast' , 'Start coding' ], }; function tasks(state = INITIAL_STATE, action) { switch (action.type) { case 'ADD_TASK' : return { ...state, dat...
