Angular 2 Material Design Responsive Tables

Question

Whenever I squeeze my window size, the table cell data overlaps with other cell's data and they are no longer aligned with my header. What should I do to make it responsive? I have already tried overflow-x:auto, is there anything which make my table horizontally scrollable. If not then any solution for stacked view table for smaller screens it will also work for me as well.

<div fxLayout="column" fxFlex="80" class="scrollable-table"  >

  <ng-container>

    <md-table class="mat-body-1 responsive-table" #table [dataSource]="viewModelSource">        
      <ng-container mdColumnDef="id" style="margin-right:200px;">
        <md-header-cell *mdHeaderCellDef class="ngBold"> ID </md-header-cell>
        <md-cell *mdCellDef="let row" routerLink="{{__PAGE_ROUTE}}{{row.id}}">
          {{row.id}}<br/>

(I added https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/8680#issuecomment-358187897)

I ended up making my own modifications :

.mat-row, .mat-header-row {
  width: 450vw; //PERSONALLY I HAD 45 COLUMNS
}
.mat-header-row { //THIS MAKES THE HEADER STICKY
  position: sticky;
  position: -webkit-sticky;
  top: 0;
  z-index: 1;
  background-color: inherit;
}
.table { //OR WHATEVER YOU CALL THE mat-table
  overflow: scroll;
}

tell me if this suits you.
