TanStack Table

Headless data table

FreeLibraries & build toolingtanstack.com

What it is

A headless table engine, now v9, that computes sorting, filtering, pagination, grouping, row selection, column resizing and virtualization but renders nothing. You supply the markup, so it drops straight into shadcn table components.

Why it earns a slot

The shadcn data-table component is TanStack Table underneath, so you likely already have it. Hand-rolling multi-column sort plus filter plus pagination is a week of subtle bugs.

Know before you commit

v9 is a major rewrite over the widely-tutorialised v8, so snippets copied from 2024 will not compile. Headless means you still write all the styling.

Getting started
