Lit Example: Basic Table Controller

import { customElement, state } from 'lit/decorators.js'
import { LitElement, html } from 'lit'
import { repeat } from 'lit/directives/repeat.js'
import { FlexRender, TableController, tableFeatures } from '@tanstack/lit-table'
import type { ColumnDef } from '@tanstack/lit-table'

// This example uses the standalone `TableController` to create a table without the `createTableHook` util.

// 1. Define what the shape of your data will be for each row
type Person = {
  firstName: string
  lastName: string
  age: number
  visits: number
  status: string
  progress: number
}

// 2. Create some dummy data with a stable reference (this could be an API response stored in @state or similar)
const defaultData: Array<Person> = [
  {
    firstName: 'tanner',
    lastName: 'linsley',
    age: 24,
    visits: 100,
    status: 'In Relationship',
    progress: 50,
  },
  {
    firstName: 'tandy',
    lastName: 'miller',
    age: 40,
    visits: 40,

    lastName: 'vandy',
    age: 12,
    visits: 100,
    status: 'Single',
    progress: 70,
  },
]

// 3. New in V9! Tell the table which features and row models we want to use. In this case, this will be a basic table with no additional features
const _features = tableFeatures({}) // util method to create sharable TFeatures object/type

// 4. Define the columns for your table. This uses the new `ColumnDef` type to define columns. Alternatively, check out the createTableHook/createAppColumnHelper util for an even more type-safe way to define columns.
