TanStack Table Data, State, and Row Models

Use this skill when the problem is about how TanStack Table receives data, owns state, or transforms rows through the pipeline.

Scope

• table instance creation and options
• data identity and stable references
• state vs initialState
• slice-specific handlers like onSortingChange
• row identity via getRowId
• nested rows via getSubRows
• row-model ordering and manual* feature modes
• controlled vs fully controlled table state

Routing cues

• "why is my table rerendering", "stable data reference", "frozen sorting state" -> this skill
• "state vs initialState", "onStateChange", "controlled table" -> this skill
