$ npm install ex-table-column --save

$ yarn add ex-table-column

Clone repository and run:

$ yarn && yarn serve

• element-ui

import Vue from 'vue'
import Element from 'element-ui'
import ExTableColumn from 'ex-table-column';

Vue.use(Element)
Vue.component(ExTableColumn.name, ExTableColumn);

Replace <el-table-column /> to <ex-table-column>, add prop :autoFit='true':

<el-table>
  <ex-table-column
    :autoFit='true'
  />
</el-table>

And add style:

.el-table .cell {
  white-space: nowrap;
  width: fit-content;
}

Add prop fitByClass to specify a class of the element, which is in slot component, and use to calculate the column width:

<el-table>
  <ex-table-column
    :autoFit='true'
    fitByClass="auto-fit-target"
    :fitGap="20"
  >
    <div class="column-wrapper" slot-scope="scope">
      <div class="column-content auto-fit-target">
        {{scope.row[scope.column.property]}}
      </div>
    </div>
  </ex-table-column>
</el-table>

Make sure that the element choosed by fitByClass, the width of the element is correct, maybe you should add white-space: nowrap; width: fit-content; for the element.

Calculating the column width does not consider the header width by default, if you want to include the header, you can add prop :fitHeader='true':

<el-table>
  <ex-table-column
    :autoFit='true'
    :fitHeader='true'
  />
</el-table>

And add style:

.el-table .cell,
.el-table th>.cell
{
  white-space: nowrap;
  width: fit-content;
}
