React Material-Ui Sticky Table Header with Dynamic Height

I am using the Material-UI framework for React to display a table. I would like to use a sticky header; however, I do not want to set a height on my table, as I’d like it to scroll with the page. The following snippet does not stick the header unless I set a height on the TableContainer.

import React from "react";
import {
  TableContainer,
  Table,
  TableHead,
  TableRow,
  TableCell
} from "@material-ui/core";
import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <TableContainer>
      <Table stickyHeader>
        <TableHead>
          <TableRow>
            <TableCell>Value</TableCell>
          </TableRow>
        </TableHead>
        {
          Array(100).fill("Test").map((e) => <TableRow><TableCell>{e}</TableCell></TableRow>)
        }
      </Table>
    </TableContainer>
  );
}

Answer

Get rid of the TableContainer overflow-x: auto and it should work

const useStyles = makeStyles({
  customTableContainer: {
    overflowX: "initial"
  }
})

export default function App() {
  const classes = useStyles();
  return (
    <TableContainer classes={{root: classes.customTableContainer}}>
      <Table stickyHeader>
      
      ...
