How to sync multiple handsontable horizontal scrolling

Question

I have 3 handsontables in my React view. I need them to be synced when the user is scrolling both horizontally and vertically. I tried to use javascript to get horizontally working without any luck.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

const handsontableData = Handsontable.helper.createSpreadsheetData(6, 50);
const Table1 = () => (
  <div>
    <Handsontable.react.HotTable
      id="T1"
      data={handsontableData}
      colHeaders
      rowHeaders
      colWidths={[100]}
      height={200}
      width="100vw"
    />
  </div>
);

const Table2 = () => (
  <div>
    <Handsontable.react.HotTable
      id="T2"
      data={handsontableData}
      colHeaders
      rowHeaders
      colWidths={[100]}
      height={200}
      width="100vw"
    />
  </div>
);

const Table3 = () => (
  <div>
    <Handsontable.react.HotTable
      id="T3"
      data={handsontableData}
      colHeaders
      rowHeaders
      colWidths={[100]}
      height={200}
      width="100vw"
    />
  </div>
);

const App = () => {
  const T1Obj = document.getElementById('T1');
  const T2Obj = document.getElementById('T2');
  const T3Obj = document.getElementById('T3');

  function getScroll(event) {
    let elem;
    if (event.type === 'scroll') {
      elem = (event.srcElement) ? event.srcElement : event.target;
      if (elem.id === 'T1') {
        T2Obj.scrollLeft = elem.scrollLeft;
        T3Obj.scrollLeft = elem.scrollLeft;
      } else if (elem.id === 'T2') {
        T1Obj.scrollLeft = elem.scrollLeft;
        T3Obj.scrollLeft = elem.scrollLeft;
      } else if (elem.id === 'T3') {
        T1Obj.scrollLeft = elem.scrollLeft;
        T2Obj.scrollLeft = elem.scrollLeft;
      }
    }
  }

  if (typeof addEventListener !== 'undefined') {
    T1Obj && T1Obj.addEventListener('scroll', getScroll);
    T2Obj && T2Obj.addEventListener('scroll', getScroll);
  } else {
    T1Obj && T1Obj.attachEvent('onscroll', getScroll);
    T2Obj && T2Obj.attachEvent('onscroll', getScroll);
  }
  return (
    <div>
      <Table1 />
      <br />
      <Table2 />
      <br />
      <Table3 />
      <br />
    </div>
  );
};

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('example1'));

I couldn't get it run in the StackOverflow code editor. so here is link to jsfiddle link

Something like this?

    function syncScroll(elements) {

      function getScrollPositions() {
        return elements.map((el) => ({
          scrollLeft: el.scrollLeft,
          scrollTop: el.scrollTop,
        }));
      }

      let scrollPositions = getScrollPositions();

      elements.forEach((el) =>
        el.addEventListener("scroll", () => {
          let currentPositions = getScrollPositions();

          for (let [i, position] of currentPositions.entries()) {
            for (let dim of ["scrollLeft", "scrollTop"]) {
              if (position[dim] != scrollPositions[i][dim]) {
                for (let element of elements) {
                  element[dim] = position[dim];
                }
              }
            }
          }

          scrollPositions = currentPositions;
        })
      );

    }

    syncScroll([T1Obj, T2Obj, T3Obj]);

Also keep in mind the elements that are scrolling are not #T1, #T2, #T3, but a div inside them. You can see it with the scroll tag.

For that reason:

  const T1Obj = document.querySelector('#T1 .wtHolder');
  const T2Obj = document.querySelector('#T2 .wtHolder');
  const T3Obj = document.querySelector('#T3 .wtHolder');

actually, I need to only sync on a horizontal scroll? – Saline

remove the loop for (let dim of ["scrollLeft", "scrollTop"]) and replace all occurrences of dim with "scrollLeft" – Luggage
