ReactJS + Material-UI: How to reduce column width of Material-UI's <TableRow/>?

I'm currently using ReactJS + Material-UI, and with the Material-UI's <Table>, the columns width are automatically set depending on content. Currently it seems to enforce equal width on all columns, but I want some columns to take up more width than others.

So is there a way to arbitrarily assign width of <TableRow>'s column and still be dynamic based on content instead?

according to the answer of @François Zaninotto @Lane Rettig

...

and adding with this ,you can get a scroll table with infinite columns...

componentDidMount() {
    let tbody = $(this.refs.table)
    if (tbody && tbody.length == 1) {
        let div = tbody[0].refs.tableDiv
        div.style.overflowX = 'auto'
        div.parentElement.style.overflowX = 'hidden'
    } else {
        // error handling
    }
}

There is a hidden prop in the <Table> component that makes it behave like a HTML <table> element, i.e. adapt the column widths to the content:

<Table style={{ tableLayout: 'auto' }} fixedHeader={false} ...>
    ...
</Table>

It doesn't let you style columns one by one, but at least it's less ugly than large columns for small contents by default.

You can set the style of the TableHeaderColumn and its corresponding TableRowColumns. Below I set width to 12 pixels (and background color to yellow just to further demo custom styling)

working jsFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/0zh1yfqt/1/

const {
  Table,
  TableHeader,
  TableHeaderColumn,
  TableBody,
  TableRow,
  TableRowColumn,
  MuiThemeProvider,
  getMuiTheme,
} = MaterialUI;

 class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    const customColumnStyle = { width: 12, backgroundColor: 'yellow' };

    return (
      <div>
        <Table>
          <TableHeader>
            <TableRow>
              <TableHeaderColumn>A</TableHeaderColumn>
              <TableHeaderColumn style={customColumnStyle}>B</TableHeaderColumn>
              <TableHeaderColumn>C</TableHeaderColumn>
            </TableRow>            
          </TableHeader>
          <TableBody>
            <TableRow>
              <TableRowColumn>1</TableRowColumn>
              <TableRowColumn style={customColumnStyle}>2</TableRowColumn>
              <TableRowColumn>3</TableRowColumn>
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow>
              <TableRowColumn>4</TableRowColumn>
              <TableRowColumn style={customColumnStyle}>5</TableRowColumn>
              <TableRowColumn>6</TableRowColumn>
            </TableRow>
            <TableRow>
              <TableRowColumn>7</TableRowColumn>
              <TableRowColumn style={customColumnStyle}>8</TableRowColumn>
              <TableRowColumn>9</TableRowColumn>
            </TableRow>
          </TableBody>
        </Table>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

const App = () => (
  <MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={getMuiTheme()}>
    <Example />
  </MuiThemeProvider>
);

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