Tables

Table API

Creating a table starts with calling your adapter's exported createTable function:

import { createTable } from '@tanstack/react-table'

const table = createTable()

table objects themselves are not the stateful instances you will be interacting with regularly, but they are required and used to accomplish a few things, especially if you've chosen to take advantage of its TypeScript features.

If you are using TypeScript (recommended), you should set the RowType of your table to ensure typesafety in your column defs and assist with autocomplete where applicable:

type Person = {
  firstName: string
  lastName: string
  age: number
  visits: number
  status: string
  progress: number
}

const table = createTable().setRowType<Person>()
