Layout Design

The column layout strategy of rb-table simply try to make content in one line as much as possible. If columns total width exceeds container width, it display a horizontal scrollbar.

The height layout strategy depends on if .rb-table has a specified height, if it does a vertical scrollbar will display when table total height is exceeded. otherwise it just takes as height as it should be just like normal table. You can specify height using css style or to make it into a column flexbox and set "flex: 1 0 0".

Comparison with existing Library

• rb-table pros: you can use Crtl + F to search and auto scroll to matched content.
• react-virtualize & fixed-data-table-2 pros: Handles large amount of data. fixed-data-table-2 is feature rich but the scrolling experience is not so good.

Compare with antd rc-table

• rb-table pros: You are able to scroll the table anywhere, even on top of fixed columns/header. Better performance.
• rc-table pros: Much more features provided, bundle with antd is a big plus.
