React-window: Fixed/Sticky Columns

Created on 5 Oct 2018 · 7Comments · Source: bvaughn/react-window

Is it within the scope of this library to have some way to mark columns as being fixed/sticky?

Eg. having the cells in the first 2 columns of a VariableSizeGrid not scroll horizontally while the rest of the cells do?

Currently I have other code that takes care of fixing these cells, but that is preventing me from using the *Grid components to handle horizontal scroll windowing. Given the complexity of the some of the cell contents this can cause a the rows to take a long time to pop in while/after scrolling.

If this is not currently possible and within the scope of the library I would be willing to look at opening a PR to add this functionality.

I don't want to support this functionally. (I don't want the added maintenance complexity it would add.) I'm sorry 😔

You're always welcome to submit a PR if you think there's a lightweight solution, but I'm skeptical. Still, I would be happy to review one.

I'm going to close this issue for now since I don't plan to take any action on it. Thanks for understanding.

@bvaughn I understand that you don't want to add this functionality to react-window. But I would really appreciate if you could provide an example on how to do it in user land. Even some tips would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot for both this and react-virtualized
