A simple dependency-free Javascript plugin to show horizontal overflow of tables

View Demo · Report Bug · Request Feature

Table Scroll Shadow enables easy responsive tables by checking if the table overflows it's container across all viewports. When overflow is present, it allows horizontal scrolling whilst adding an extra visual indicator in the shape of shadows to make it more obvious where the overflow is.

Here are a few key features of the plugin:

• Small file size, coming in at only 3 kB
• No jQuery dependency
• Built in options
• Just install and enjoy!

Pull in the latest version of the plugin with one of the following commands:

npm install table-scroll-shadow

yarn add table-scroll-shadow

Once you have installed the plugin, you will need to add a little bit of necessary markup around the tables that you want to scroll (the class names can be changed via the options).

<div class="table-wrapper">
  <div class="table-scroll">
    <table>
      <!-- Tabular data here -->
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

The plugin can be referenced via the global variable, TableScrollShadow.

const table = new TableScrollShadow()
table.init()

All options for this plugin are optional, and have sensible defaults. The defaults are shown below:

TableScrollShadow({
  wrapperClass: '.table-wrapper',
  scrollAreaClass: '.table-scroll',
  shadowColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25)',
  shadowSize: '2em',
  throttleDelay: 75
})
