React<\/a>, today it also supports other frontend frameworks such as Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Qwik. This makes it a future-proof solution \u2013 no matter what technology you choose for your next project, TanStack Table’s approach and API will remain familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen should you use TanStack Table in your project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
TanStack Table is particularly useful when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– You want full control over the appearance of the table: whether you use Tailwind, MUI, Chakra UI, or your own styling system, TanStack Table imposes no restrictions. You decide on the HTML and CSS structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– you are integrating with a non-standard design system (Design System). Do you have a corporate design system or do you need to strictly adhere to client guidelines? TanStack Table will fit right in, as it does not enforce any predefined styles or components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Need efficient handling of large data sets? Thanks to virtualization support and intelligent state management, the library can handle tables with thousands of rows without slowing down the interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Do you require flexibility when implementing complex interactive features: data grouping, expandable rows, drag-and-drop columns, custom cell editors? You can build all of this on top of TanStack Table’s logic \u2013 without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of TanStack Table’s most important features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
TanStack Table is a library that does not provide ready-made components \u2013 but it gives you all the tools you need to build exactly the table you need. Below you will find key features with practical examples of their use in React.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Data sorting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sorting is one of the most common functions in a table. In TanStack Table, you can easily enable column sorting. Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import {\n useReactTable,\n getCoreRowModel,\n getSortedRowModel,\n} from '@tanstack\/react-table'\n\nconst table = useReactTable({\n data,\n columns,\n state: {\n sorting,\n },\n onSortingChange: setSorting,\n getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),\n getSortedRowModel: getSortedRowModel(),\n})\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nJust click on the column header to change the sort order. You can also create your own sort icons and logic for data types (e.g., dates, numbers, text).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Data filtering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can add both global filtering and individual column filtering \u2013 all with your own UI. Below is an example of text filtering for a column:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
{\n accessorKey: 'email',\n header: 'Email',\n filterFn: 'includesString',\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCustom filter field component:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<input\n value={table.getColumn('email')?.getFilterValue() ?? ''}\n onChange={(e) =>\n table.getColumn('email')?.setFilterValue(e.target.value)\n }\n\/>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n3. Pagination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
TanStack Table supports both local and server-based paging – depending on your data source. Example (local):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
const table = useReactTable({\n pageCount: -1, \/\/ \n manualPagination: true,\n onPaginationChange: setPagination,\n getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),\n})\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nPages, counter, “next\/previous” – you can implement any interface you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Data grouping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can group rows by one or more columns, creating a nested data structure. Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
{\n accessorKey: 'department',\n enableGrouping: true,\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThe result: data is grouped by department<\/code>, and each group can be expanded\/closed dynamically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. Data aggregation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Aggregation is an extremely useful feature, especially in the context of analytical, financial, or reporting applications. It allows you to automatically summarize values in columns\u2014for example, calculate total sales, average rating, number of reports, or maximum value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TanStack Table allows you to assign your own aggregation function to a column (e.g., sum<\/code>, average<\/code>, count<\/code>, max<\/code>, min<\/code>, or a completely custom function) and define how a given column should behave in a group row.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBelow is an example of summing salaries by department:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
{\n accessorKey: 'salary',\n header: 'Salary',\n aggregationFn: 'sum', \/\/ aggregation function\n aggregatedCell: ({ getValue }) => `Suma: $${getValue()}`, \/\/ group row view\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn combination with the grouping feature, TanStack Table will automatically sum all salary<\/code> values for each department<\/code>and display the summary in the group. Why is this important? Because it makes it easy to present aggregate data without additional server-side logic. You can easily extend the table UI with summary rows, section summaries, or even multi-level aggregates. In addition, you have full control over the presentation format of aggregated data \u2013 you can highlight it graphically, color it, add icons, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis feature works particularly well in dashboards, reports, online spreadsheets, and ERP\/CRM systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Virtualization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If your table contains thousands of rows, you can use @tanstack\/react-virtual<\/code>to render only the visible elements, significantly improving performance. For example, instead of rendering 10,000 rows, only the 30 currently visible rows are rendered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n7. Column customization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the biggest advantages of TanStack Table is that it gives you complete freedom to define, modify, and manage columns \u2013 both during table configuration and dynamically during application runtime. This is extremely useful in projects where the interface needs to adapt to user roles, preferences, or business context. Below we show dynamic columns based on a condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
const userColumns = showSalary\n ? [...baseColumns, salaryColumn]\n : baseColumns\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn this example, the “salary” column will only be visible if showSalary<\/code> returns true<\/code> – for example, if the user has permission to see salary data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat can you do with column personalization? E.g.: based on application status, user role or filter, you can hide or show a column. You can let users drag (drag-and-drop) columns to rearrange the table according to their preferences. What else? You can save your column configuration (e.g., visibility, width, order) to a localStorage, database or user profile – and restore it with each session. Here’s an example: setting custom headers and widths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
{\n accessorKey: 'createdAt',\n header: () => <span>Date of creation<\/span>,\n size: 180,\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n8. Styling and integration with UI systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
TanStack Table stands out because it does not impose any styling or HTML structure on you. Unlike ready-made components from libraries such as Material UI or Bootstrap, TanStack Table allows you to define every element of the table yourself: from <table><\/code>, through <thead><\/code> and <tbody><\/code>, to cells, sorting buttons, pagination, and even loading spinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis approach gives you complete freedom to integrate with any UI design system \u2013 no friction, no rework, no fighting with style overrides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TailwindCSS works great with TanStack Table. Thanks to utility classes, you can style every table element with precision without the need to create additional components. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<table className=\"min-w-full divide-y divide-gray-200\">\n <thead className=\"bg-gray-50\">\n <tr>\n {table.getHeaderGroups().map(headerGroup =>\n headerGroup.headers.map(header => (\n <th\n className=\"px-6 py-3 text-left text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 uppercase tracking-wider\"\n key={header.id}\n >\n {header.column.columnDef.header}\n <\/th>\n ))\n )}\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n<\/table>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIn the example above, the table headers are fully controlled and styled using Tailwind \u2013 but you could just as easily use your own CSS classes or any other styling system. Regardless of how you style your application, TanStack Table supportsany custom components with rendering logic: TailwindCSS, CSS Modules, Styled Components \/ Emotion, Vanilla CSS, UI frameworks (MUI, Chakra, Bootstrap).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating your first table with TanStack Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To see for yourself how amazing TanStack Table is, we recommend that you start your first project. In a few steps, we will show you how to create your first table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Install the necessary packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
npm install @tanstack\/react-table\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf you plan to handle large data sets and are concerned about performance, it’s also worth adding virtualization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
npm install @tanstack\/react-virtual\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n2. Create a basic table – suppose you have user data. Let’s start with data and column definitions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
const data = [\n { id: 1, name: 'Anna', email: 'anna@example.com' },\n { id: 2, name: 'Tom', email: 'tomasz@example.com' },\n]\n\nconst columns = [\n {\n accessorKey: 'name',\n header: 'Name',\n },\n {\n accessorKey: 'email',\n header: 'Email',\n },\n]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNext, we initialize the table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import { useReactTable, getCoreRowModel } from '@tanstack\/react-table'\n\nconst table = useReactTable({\n data,\n columns,\n getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),\n})\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow we are rendering the table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<table>\n <thead>\n {table.getHeaderGroups().map(headerGroup => (\n <tr key={headerGroup.id}>\n {headerGroup.headers.map(header => (\n <th key={header.id}>\n {\/* Use flexRender, if you want to render custom components or JSX *\/}\n {header.isPlaceholder\n ? null\n : flexRender(\n header.column.columnDef.header,\n header.getContext()\n )}\n <\/th>\n ))}\n <\/tr>\n ))}\n <\/thead>\n <tbody>\n {table.getRowModel().rows.map(row => (\n <tr key={row.id}>\n {row.getVisibleCells().map(cell => (\n <td key={cell.id}>\n {\/* \ud83e\udde0 To samo dotyczy kom\u00f3rek danych \u2013 flexRender obs\u0142u\u017cy komponenty, JSX, tekst, liczby itd. *\/}\n {flexRender(\n cell.column.columnDef.cell,\n cell.getContext()\n )}\n <\/td>\n ))}\n <\/tr>\n ))}\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nUse flexRender<\/code> instead of a direct call to .renderCell()<\/code>. flexRender()<\/code> is a function created by the authors of TanStack Table that supports both simple values (e.g. string, number) and JSX rendering functions. With it, you can use e.g. () => <span>{value}<\/span><\/code> in columns without the risk that the table will return [Object Object]<\/code> or nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEach header<\/code> and cell<\/code> can be a rendering function. In column definition, you can use functions in header<\/code> and cell<\/code>, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n{\n accessorKey: 'email',\n header: () => <span>Email \ud83d\udce7<\/span>,\n cell: ({ getValue }) => (\n <a href={`mailto:${getValue()}`} className=\"text-blue-600 underline\">\n {getValue()}\n <\/a>\n )\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen we move on to point 3, which is to add extensions to the logic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import {\n getSortedRowModel,\n getFilteredRowModel,\n getPaginationRowModel,\n} from '@tanstack\/react-table'\n\nconst table = useReactTable({\n data,\n columns,\n state: {\n sorting,\n pagination,\n columnFilters,\n },\n onSortingChange: setSorting,\n onPaginationChange: setPagination,\n onColumnFiltersChange: setColumnFilters,\n getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),\n getSortedRowModel: getSortedRowModel(),\n getFilteredRowModel: getFilteredRowModel(),\n getPaginationRowModel: getPaginationRowModel(),\n})\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAdd a UI for sorting (e.g., click on the header):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<th\n onClick={header.column.getToggleSortingHandler()}\n>\n {header.column.columnDef.header}\n {header.column.getIsSorted() === 'asc' ? ' \ud83d\udd3c' : ' \ud83d\udd3d'}\n<\/th>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen we add a simple filter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<input\n value={table.getColumn('name')?.getFilterValue() ?? ''}\n onChange={e =>\n table.getColumn('name')?.setFilterValue(e.target.value)\n }\n\/>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nand pagination buttons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<button onClick={() => table.previousPage()} disabled={!table.getCanPreviousPage()}>\n Previous\n<\/button>\n<button onClick={() => table.nextPage()} disabled={!table.getCanNextPage()}>\n next\n<\/button>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n4. Customize the table appearance. Here, you have complete freedom. You can use Tailwind, Styled Components, MUI, or classic CSS. Below is an example using Tailwind CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<table className=\"min-w-full table-auto border border-gray-200\">\n <thead className=\"bg-gray-100\">\n <tr>\n {table.getHeaderGroups().map(headerGroup => (\n headerGroup.headers.map(header => (\n <th\n key={header.id}\n className=\"px-4 py-2 text-left font-semibold text-sm text-gray-600\"\n >\n {header.column.columnDef.header}\n <\/th>\n ))\n ))}\n <\/tr>\n <\/thead>\n<\/table>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCongratulations! You have just created your first fully functional table using TanStack Table – with custom data, sorting, filtering and pagination. From now on, you have a foundation on which to build more advanced and customized solutions for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
TanStack Table<\/strong> is a tool that perfectly meets the needs of modern frontend teams: it offers maximum flexibility, full control, and tremendous scalability\u2014without imposing any stylistic or architectural constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnlike ready-made component libraries, which often offer a lot but come with difficult-to-work-around limitations, TanStack Table works in a \u201cheadless-first\u201d spirit. This means that everything you see in the interface \u2013 style, markup, interactions \u2013 is created by you, and the library is only responsible for the really difficult stuff: logic, state, performance, and data processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQ \u2013 Frequently asked questions about TanStack Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. How is TanStack Table different from component libraries (e.g., AG Grid, MUI Table)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTanStack Table is a headless UI<\/em> library \u2013 it does not provide ready-made components or styles. Instead, it gives you the full table management logic (sorting, filtering, pagination, grouping, etc.), and you create the look and HTML structure yourself. This is ideal when you want full control over the user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Does TanStack Table only work with React?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNo! Although it is most commonly used in React projects, TanStack Table also supports other frontend frameworks such as Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Qwik. Each version has a dedicated API tailored to the specifics of the framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Do I need additional libraries to run TanStack Table?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No, @tanstack\/react-table<\/code>is all you need to get started. If you care about performance with large data sets, you can install @tanstack\/react-virtual<\/code>, which enables virtualization (rendering only visible rows).<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Can I use TanStack Table with TailwindCSS, MUI, or my own design system?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYes, and that’s its biggest advantage. TanStack Table doesn’t impose any styling, which means you can freely integrate it with any CSS system: Tailwind, Styled Components, Emotion, Material UI, Bootstrap \u2013 even your own design system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Is TanStack Table suitable for large production projects?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAbsolutely. It is a mature, stable, and highly performant library used in many professional applications. Thanks to its modularity, light weight, and flexible API, it works great in large systems: from admin panels to analytics apps to advanced B2B tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
