PrimeNG table fit in the container - html

Question

I have an angular component which shows a map or a primeNG table depending on a variable. This component is prepared to act as a child component and be used inside other components. The map fits on the container it is set, but the table exceeds the height of the container if it has too many rows.
I want to force the table fitting the container, It would be nice if it auto-selects the number of rows per page in the paginator depending on the space in the container, but I would also be fine with some kind of scrollbar.
I have tried the classic scrollable='true', scrollheight and that stuff, but they do not work for me.
Edit: Adding the table code:
<div><p-table #dt
[value]="listaMapa()"
[columns]="mostrarColumnas"
(sortFunction)="customSort($event)"
[customSort]="true"
[paginator]="true"
[showCurrentPageReport]="true" [rows]="10"
[scrollable]="true"
[scrollHeight]="'100%'"
currentPageReportTemplate="{first} - {last} de {totalRecords}" [rowsPerPageOptions]="[10,25,50]">
<ng-template pTemplate="header" let-columns>
<tr>
<th [pSortableColumn]="'matricula'">Matrícula
<p-sortIcon [field]="'matricula'"></p-sortIcon>
</th>
<th>Latitud
</th>
<th >Longitud
</th>
<th>Ubicación</th>
<th [pSortableColumn]="'zona'">Zona
<p-sortIcon [field]="'zona'" ></p-sortIcon>
</th>
<th [pSortableColumn]="'fecha'">Fecha de registro
<p-sortIcon [field]="'fecha'" ></p-sortIcon>
</th>
</tr>
</ng-template>
<ng-template pTemplate="body" let-posiciones>
<tr>
<td>{{posiciones.matricula}}</td>
<td>{{posiciones.latitud}}</td>
<td>{{posiciones.longitud}}</td>
<td>{{posiciones.descripcion}}</td>
<td>{{posiciones.zona}}</td>
<td>{{posiciones.fecha}}</td>
</tr>
</ng-template>
</p-table>
</div>
The point is that I want to be able to use this table as a child component and make sure that it will not get bigger than the container component. I have added [scrollable]="true" but it does not work for [scrollHeight]="'100%'" or [scrollHeight]="'100hv'" so I have to fix the height of the table in order to make the scroll work. I have also tried style="height: 100%;"but nothing changes.
