Both Orientations Scroll Area for Ark UI

A table of 20 people with Name, Email, Role, Department, Location and Status, in a panel that scrolls up and sideways.

A panel holds a table of 20 people. The columns are Name, Email, Role, Department, Location and Status. The panel scrolls vertically and horizontally.

Scroll both ways when a table has more columns and rows than the panel. A Table that drops columns is easier if a sideways scroll is awkward. Ark UI in React does not build the rows.

FAQ

Why does this table scroll both ways?

ScrollArea is h-[400px] and max-w-md, and the table sits in a div with w-max. The fixed height scrolls the twenty rows. w-max lets the six columns run wider than the frame.

Which bar does this file add?

Both bars are already rendered. The height and the w-max wrapper are what create the two scroll ranges.

What are the columns?

Name, Email, Role, Department, Location, and Status. Each th and the cells use px-4 py-2 and text-start. Body cells that are secondary, such as the email, add text-sm text-muted-foreground.

How many people are in the table?

Twenty, from Array.from. Role cycles Admin, Editor, and Viewer. Department cycles Engineering, Design, Marketing, and Sales. Location is San Francisco or New York. Status is Active or Inactive.

Where is the padding around the table?

p-4 is on the w-max wrapper, so it scrolls with the table. The frame is rounded-md border bg-background on ScrollArea, plus w-full max-w-md.

Do the column headings stick?

No. The thead is ordinary table markup inside the scrolling wrapper, so the headings move with the rows. border-b on the header row and on each body row draws the lines.
