VTable usage issue: How to implement scrollbar DOM container boundary display

Question title

How to implement scrollbar DOM container boundary display

Problem description

When the height of the table content is low, the scroll bar will not display well in the table. I hope to display the scroll bar at the bottom of the canvas.

Solution

You can configure the barToSideproperty of the scrollbar in the theme to configure the display position of the scrollbar:

  • True: The scrollbar is displayed at the edge of the container (canvas)

  • False: The scroll bar is displayed at the edge of the table area

Code example

const option = {
  records,
  columns,
  theme: VTable.themes.DEFAULT.extends({
    scrollStyle: {
      barToSide: true
    }
  })
};

const tableInstance = new VTable.ListTable(document.getElementById(CONTAINER_ID),option);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Results show

Full sample code (you can try pasting it into the editor ):

function generateRandomString(length) {
  let result = '';
  const characters = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
  for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * characters.length));
  }
  return result;
}
function generateRandomHobbies() {
  const hobbies = [
    'Reading books',
    'Playing video games',
    'Watching movies',
    'Cooking',
    'Hiking',
    'Traveling',
    'Photography',
    'Playing musical instruments',
    'Gardening',
    'Painting',
    'Writing',
    'Swimming'
  ];

  const numHobbies = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1; // 生成 1-3 之间的随机整数
  const selectedHobbies = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < numHobbies; i++) {
    const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * hobbies.length);
    const hobby = hobbies[randomIndex];
    selectedHobbies.push(hobby);
    hobbies.splice(randomIndex, 1); // 确保每个爱好只选一次
  }

  return selectedHobbies.join(', ');
}
function generateRandomBirthday() {
  const start = new Date('1970-01-01');
  const end = new Date('2000-12-31');
  const randomDate = new Date(start.getTime() + Math.random() * (end.getTime() - start.getTime()));
  const year = randomDate.getFullYear();
  const month = randomDate.getMonth() + 1;
  const day = randomDate.getDate();
  return `${year}-${month < 10 ? '0' + month : month}-${day < 10 ? '0' + day : day}`;
}

function generateRandomPhoneNumber() {
  const areaCode = ['130', '131', '132', '133', '134', '135', '136', '137', '138', '139', '150', '151', '152', '153', '155', '156', '157', '158', '159', '170', '176', '177', '178', '180', '181', '182', '183', '184', '185', '186', '187', '188', '189'];
  const prefix = areaCode[Math.floor(Math.random() * areaCode.length)];
  const suffix = String(Math.random()).substr(2, 8);
  return prefix + suffix;
