# BindRowsWithHeaders

[[toc]]

## Description

Plugin allows binding the table rows with their headers.

If the plugin is enabled, the table row headers will "stick" to the rows, when they are hidden/moved. Basically, if
at the initialization row 0 has a header titled "A", it will have it no matter what you do with the table.

**Example**  
```js
const container = document.getElementById('example');
const hot = new Handsontable(container, {
  data: getData(),
  // enable plugin
  bindRowsWithHeaders: true
});
```
