md-table - How to update the column width

Question

I have started using the md-table for my project, and I want fixed column width. Currently all columns width are divided into equal size.

Where can I get the documen

Answer 1

Right now, it has not been exposed at API level yet. However you can achieve it using something similar to this

   ID 
   {{row.id}} 

In css, you need to add this custom class -

.customWidthClass{
   flex: 0 0 75px;
}

Feel free to enter the logic to append class or custom width in here. It will apply custom width for the column.

Since md-table uses flex, we need to give fixed width in flex manner. This simply explains -

0 = don't grow (shorthand for flex-grow)

0 = don't shrink (shorthand for flex-shrink)

75px = start at 75px (shorthand for flex-basis)
