27
+
28
+ This skill collects the production-readiness levers for a Preact v9 table. Each one is independent — apply only the ones whose problem you actually have.
29
+
30
+ ## 1. Tree-Shake `_features`
31
+
32
+ Only register features the table actually uses. v9's bundle savings come from `_features` controlling which feature code (and which state slices and APIs) get included.
33
+
34
+ ```tsx
35
+ // Bad — pulls every feature into the bundle even if the UI never uses them.
36
+ const _features = tableFeatures({
37
+ rowPaginationFeature,
38
+ rowSortingFeature,
39
+ rowSelectionFeature,
40
+ columnFilteringFeature,
41
+ globalFilteringFeature,
42
+ columnFacetingFeature,
43
+ globalFacetingFeature,
44
+ columnGroupingFeature,
45
+ rowExpandingFeature,
46
+ columnSizingFeature,
47
+ columnVisibilityFeature,
48
+ columnOrderingFeature,
49
+ columnPinningFeature,
50
+ rowPinningFeature,
51
+ })
52
+
53
+ // Good — feature list matches what the UI exposes.
54
+ const _features = tableFeatures({
55
+ rowPaginationFeature,
56
+ rowSortingFeature,
57
+ rowSelectionFeature,
58
+ })
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ Same idea for `_rowModels` — only register the row-model factory for features that need one and that you have registered.
62
+
63
+ Source: `docs/guide/features.md`; `docs/framework/preact/preact-table.md`.
64
+
65
+ ## 2. Stable References for `_features`, `columns`, `data`, `_rowModels`
66
+
67
+ Identity drives every internal memo. Declare these at module scope when possible; otherwise wrap with `useMemo`.
68
+
69
+ ```tsx
70
+ // Best — module scope. Single allocation.
71
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature })
72
+ const columns: Array<ColumnDef<typeof _features, Person>> = [
73
+ /* … */
74
+ ]
75
+ const EMPTY: Person[] = []
76
+
77
+ function MyTable({ rows }: { rows: Person[] | undefined }) {
78
+ const data = rows ?? EMPTY
79
+ const table = useTable({ _features, _rowModels: {}, columns, data })
80
+ }
81
+
82
+ // Okay — useMemo for dynamic columns.
83
+ function MyTable({ visibleKeys }: { visibleKeys: string[] }) {
84
+ const columns = useMemo(
85
+ () => visibleKeys.map((k) => columnHelper.accessor(k as any, {})),
86
+ [visibleKeys.join(',')],
87
+ )
88
+ }
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md` (FAQ #1).
92
+
93
+ ## 3. Narrow `useTable` Selector
94
+
95
+ The default selector `(state) => state` re-renders the component on any registered slice change. Narrow it to just the slices the component reads. The Preact adapter uses `shallow` compare from `@tanstack/preact-store` — projected objects only trigger a render when a member changes.
96
+
97
+ ```tsx
98
+ // All slices — fine for a small table.
99
+ const table = useTable(opts, (state) => state)
100
+
101
+ // Narrow — re-render only on sorting/pagination changes.
102
+ const table = useTable(opts, (state) => ({
103
+ sorting: state.sorting,
104
+ pagination: state.pagination,
105
+ }))
106
+ table.state.pagination
107
+
108
+ // Opt-out at the parent; do subscriptions lower in the tree.
109
+ const table = useTable(opts, () => null)
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ Source: `examples/preact/basic-subscribe/src/main.tsx`.
113
+
114
+ ## 4. Wrap Hot Subtrees in `<table.Subscribe>`
115
+
116
+ Once the parent uses `() => null`, push subscriptions next to the UI that actually reads them. Subscribe to single atoms (`source={table.atoms.X}`) to avoid re-deriving the flat store on unrelated changes.
117
+
118
+ ```tsx
119
+ const table = useTable(opts, () => null)
120
+
121
+ // Row body — re-render only when filters/pagination cause the row model to change.
122
+ <table.Subscribe
123
+ selector={(s) => ({
124
+ columnFilters: s.columnFilters,
125
+ globalFilter: s.globalFilter,
126
+ pagination: s.pagination,
127
+ })}
128
+ >
129
+ {() => (
130
+ <tbody>
131
+ {table.getRowModel().rows.map((row) => (
132
+ <tr key={row.id}>{/* … */}</tr>
133
+ ))}
134
+ </tbody>
135
+ )}
136
+ </table.Subscribe>
137
+
138
+ // Per-row selection checkbox — narrow to that row's selection bit.
139
+ <table.Subscribe
140
+ source={table.atoms.rowSelection}
141
+ selector={(rs) => rs[row.id]}
142
+ >
143
+ {(isSelected) => (
144
+ <input
145
+ type="checkbox"
146
+ checked={!!isSelected}
147
+ onChange={row.getToggleSelectedHandler()}
148
+ />
149
+ )}
150
+ </table.Subscribe>
151
+ ```
152
+
153
+ Source: `examples/preact/basic-subscribe/src/main.tsx`.
154
+
155
+ ## 5. Prefer Slice Atoms over `state` + `on*Change`
156
+
157
+ External `state` + `on*Change` re-renders the whole component that owns the `useState`. Slice atoms let `useSelector` / `<table.Subscribe>` subscribe individually.
158
+
159
+ ```tsx
160
+ // Less granular — every slice change re-renders this component.
161
+ const [sorting, setSorting] = useState<SortingState>([])
162
+ const [pagination, setPagination] = useState<PaginationState>({ pageIndex: 0, pageSize: 10 })
163
+ useTable({
164
+ /* … */,
165
+ state: { sorting, pagination },
166
+ onSortingChange: setSorting,
167
+ onPaginationChange: setPagination,
168
+ })
169
+
170
+ // More granular — independent atom subscriptions.
171
+ const sortingAtom = useCreateAtom<SortingState>([])
172
+ const paginationAtom = useCreateAtom<PaginationState>({ pageIndex: 0, pageSize: 10 })
173
+ useTable({ /* … */, atoms: { sorting: sortingAtom, pagination: paginationAtom } })
174
+ ```
175
+
176
+ Source: `examples/preact/basic-external-atoms/src/main.tsx`.
177
+
178
+ ## 6. Set Sensible `initialState` Once
179
+
180
+ Use `initialState` for starting values. Setting state in an effect after mount triggers an extra render.
181
+
182
+ ```tsx
183
+ const table = useTable({
184
+ _features,
185
+ _rowModels: {
186
+ /* … */
187
+ },
188
+ columns,
189
+ data,
190
+ initialState: {
191
+ pagination: { pageIndex: 0, pageSize: 25 },
192
+ sorting: [{ id: 'createdAt', desc: true }],
193
+ },
194
+ })
195
+ ```
196
+
197
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md`.
198
+
199
+ ## 7. Reach for `createTableHook` for Multi-Table Apps
200
+
201
+ When several screens share the same `_features`, `_rowModels`, and conventions, `createTableHook` centralizes the configuration and lets you ship pre-bound cell/header components. Tables collapse to columns + data.
202
+
203
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/create-table-hook.md`.
204
+
205
+ ## Common Mistakes
206
+
207
+ ### CRITICAL `tableFeatures(...)` inside the component body
208
+
209
+ Wrong:
210
+
211
+ ```tsx
212
+ function MyTable() {
213
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature }) // new object every render
214
+ useTable({ _features, _rowModels: {}, columns, data })
215
+ }
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ Correct:
219
+
220
+ ```tsx
221
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature }) // module scope
222
+
223
+ function MyTable() {
224
+ useTable({ _features, _rowModels: {}, columns, data })
225
+ }
226
+ ```
227
+
228
+ A new `_features` reference each render busts every memo that keys off it.
229
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md` (FAQ #1).
230
+
231
+ ### CRITICAL Reimplementing built-ins manually
232
+
233
+ Wrong:
234
+
235
+ ```tsx
236
+ const sorted = useMemo(() => [...data].sort(/* … */), [data, sorting])
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ Correct:
240
+
241
+ ```tsx
242
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature })
243
+ const table = useTable({
244
+ _features,
245
+ _rowModels: { sortedRowModel: createSortedRowModel(sortFns) },
246
+ columns,
247
+ data,
248
+ })
249
+ ```
250
+
251
+ v9 ships built-ins for sorting, filtering, pagination, grouping, expanding, faceting, row selection, column visibility/order/pinning/sizing, and row pinning. Hand-rolling these is the #1 AI tell.
252
+ Source: `docs/guide/features.md`.
253
+
254
+ ### HIGH `() => state` selector everywhere
255
+
256
+ Wrong: every component using `useTable(opts, (state) => state)` re-renders on any slice change. Fine for small tables; expensive for kitchen-sink screens.
257
+
258
+ Correct: pass a narrow selector or `() => null` at large tables, then `<table.Subscribe>` lower.
259
+ Source: `examples/preact/basic-subscribe/src/main.tsx`.
260
+
261
+ ### HIGH New atom per render
262
+
263
+ Wrong: `createAtom(...)` inside the component body.
264
+
265
+ Correct: `useCreateAtom(...)` (or atom at module scope).
266
+ Source: `examples/preact/basic-external-atoms/src/main.tsx`.
267
+
268
+ ### MEDIUM Subscribe everywhere on a small table
269
+
270
+ Wrong: a 50-row table with `<Subscribe>` wrapped around every cell. Adds complexity, no measurable win.
271
+
272
+ Correct: default selector + inline rendering. Reach for `Subscribe` after measuring a hotspot.

34
+
35
+ This skill builds on `tanstack-table/state-management` and `tanstack-table/setup`. Read those first — `state-management` explains the v9 atom model (per-slice readonly `table.atoms`, internal writable `table.baseAtoms`, flat `table.store`). The Preact adapter closely mirrors the React adapter: `useTable` returns a `PreactTable<TFeatures, TData, TSelected>` whose state is backed by TanStack Store atoms, and `<table.Subscribe>` lets components subscribe to slices fine-grained.
36
+
37
+ ## Setup
38
+
39
+ Every Preact v9 table follows the same shape. Define `_features`, `_rowModels`, and `columns` at module scope so their references are stable, then call `useTable` and render with `<table.FlexRender>`.
40
+
41
+ ```tsx
42
+ import { render } from 'preact'
43
+ import { useState } from 'preact/hooks'
44
+ import {
45
+ createColumnHelper,
46
+ createSortedRowModel,
47
+ rowSortingFeature,
48
+ sortFns,
49
+ tableFeatures,
50
+ useTable,
51
+ } from '@tanstack/preact-table'
52
+
53
+ type Person = { firstName: string; lastName: string; age: number }
54
+
55
+ // Module-scope = stable identity. Critical for re-render perf.
56
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature })
57
+ const columnHelper = createColumnHelper<typeof _features, Person>()
58
+
59
+ const columns = columnHelper.columns([
60
+ columnHelper.accessor('firstName', { header: 'First' }),
61
+ columnHelper.accessor('lastName', { header: 'Last' }),
62
+ columnHelper.accessor('age', { header: 'Age' }),
63
+ ])
64
+
65
+ function PeopleTable({ data }: { data: Person[] }) {
66
+ const table = useTable(
67
+ {
68
+ _features,
69
+ _rowModels: { sortedRowModel: createSortedRowModel(sortFns) },
70
+ columns,
71
+ data,
72
+ },
73
+ (state) => state, // default selector
74
+ )
75
+
76
+ return (
77
+ <table>
78
+ <thead>
79
+ {table.getHeaderGroups().map((hg) => (
80
+ <tr key={hg.id}>
81
+ {hg.headers.map((h) => (
82

106
+
107
+ ## Core Patterns
108
+
109
+ ### 1. `useTable` selector (second argument)
110
+
111
+ The default selector returns the full `TableState<TFeatures>` — the component re-renders on any registered state slice change. Pass a narrower selector once you have a measurable perf problem, or pass `() => null` to opt the parent out at the top level and use `<table.Subscribe>` walls instead.
112
+
113
+ The Preact adapter uses `useSelector` from `@tanstack/preact-store` with `shallow` compare under the hood.
114
+
115
+ ```tsx
116
+ // Narrow selector — re-render only on sorting/pagination changes.
117
+ const table = useTable(
118
+ {
119
+ _features,
120
+ _rowModels: {
121
+ /*…*/
122
+ },
123
+ columns,
124
+ data,
125
+ },
126
+ (state) => ({ sorting: state.sorting, pagination: state.pagination }),
127
+ )
128
+
129
+ table.state.sorting // typed to the projected shape
130
+
131
+ // Or: subscribe to nothing at the top level; read inside <table.Subscribe>.
132
+ const table = useTable(opts, () => null)
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md`; `examples/preact/basic-subscribe/src/main.tsx` (uses `() => null`).
136
+
137
+ ### 2. `<table.Subscribe>` and standalone `<Subscribe>`
138
+
139
+ Use `<table.Subscribe>` at the component level. Inside cell/header render contexts, `table` is the core `Table<TFeatures, TData>` (not `PreactTable`), so `table.Subscribe` is **not on the object** — import the standalone `<Subscribe>` and pass `source={table.store}` or `source={table.atoms.X}`.
140
+
141
+ ```tsx
142
+ import { Subscribe } from '@tanstack/preact-table'
143
+
144
+ // Component-level: selector against table.store.
145
+ <table.Subscribe selector={(s) => s.pagination}>
146
+ {(pagination) => <span>Page {pagination.pageIndex + 1}</span>}
147
+ </table.Subscribe>
148
+
149
+ // Single-atom source — narrower than table.store.
150
+ <table.Subscribe source={table.atoms.rowSelection}>
151
+ {(rowSelection) => <span>{Object.keys(rowSelection).length} selected</span>}
152
+ </table.Subscribe>
153
+
154
+ // Per-row identity projection — re-renders only that row's checkbox.
155
+ <table.Subscribe
156
+ source={table.atoms.rowSelection}
157
+ selector={(rs) => rs[row.id]}
158
+ >
159
+ {(isSelected) => (
160
+ <input type="checkbox" checked={!!isSelected} onChange={row.getToggleSelectedHandler()} />
161
+ )}
162
+ </table.Subscribe>
163
+
164
+ // Inside a cell — table here is the CORE Table, no .Subscribe. Use the import.
165
+ columnHelper.display({
166
+ id: 'select',
167
+ cell: ({ row, table }) => (
168
+ <Subscribe
169
+ source={table.atoms.rowSelection}
170
+ selector={(s) => s[row.id]}
171
+ >
172
+ {(isSelected) => (
173
+ <input
174
+ type="checkbox"
175
+ checked={!!isSelected}
176
+ onChange={row.getToggleSelectedHandler()}
177
+ />
178
+ )}
179
+ </Subscribe>
180
+ ),
181
+ })
182
+ ```
183
+
184
+ Source: `packages/preact-table/src/Subscribe.ts`; `examples/preact/basic-subscribe/src/main.tsx`.
185
+
186
+ ### 3. External atoms with `useCreateAtom` + `options.atoms`
187
+
188
+ Move ownership of any slice to an atom you create with `useCreateAtom` from `@tanstack/preact-store`. Pass it via `options.atoms.<slice>`. The table writes to your atom when you call `table.setSorting(...)`, `table.setPageIndex(...)`, etc. — **no `on*Change` handler is needed**.
189
+
190
+ Precedence: `options.atoms[key]` > `options.state[key]` > internal `baseAtoms[key]`. Don't pass both `state.foo` and `atoms.foo` for the same slice; `atoms` wins silently.
191
+
192
+ ```tsx
193
+ import { useCreateAtom, useSelector } from '@tanstack/preact-store'
194
+ import type { PaginationState, SortingState } from '@tanstack/preact-table'
195

223
+ ### 4. External state with `state` + `on*Change` and `createTableHook`
224
+
225
+ Classic `useState` + `on*Change` integration (v8 migration paths) and the `createTableHook` factory for packaging shared `_features` / `_rowModels` / cell components into `useAppTable` + `createAppColumnHelper` + `table.AppTable` / `AppHeader` / `AppCell` / `AppFooter` boundaries — see [advanced-state-patterns.md](references/advanced-state-patterns.md).
226
+
227
+ ## Common Mistakes
228
+
229
+ ### CRITICAL Reading `table.atoms.X.get()` during render and expecting re-renders
230
+
231
+ Wrong:
232
+
233
+ ```tsx
234
+ function Pager({ table }) {
235
+ const pagination = table.atoms.pagination.get() // current-value read, NOT a subscription
236
+ return <span>Page {pagination.pageIndex + 1}</span>
237
+ }
238
+ ```
239
+
240
+ Correct:
241
+
242
+ ```tsx
243
+ function Pager({ table }) {
244
+ return (
245
+ <table.Subscribe
246
+ source={table.atoms.pagination}
247
+ selector={(p) => p.pageIndex}
248
+ >
249
+ {(pageIndex) => <span>Page {pageIndex + 1}</span>}
250
+ </table.Subscribe>
251
+ )
252
+ }
253
+ ```
254
+
255
+ `.get()` and `table.store.state` are current-value reads, not subscriptions. The component never re-renders when the atom changes.
256
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md`.
257
+
258
+ ### HIGH Passing both `atoms.X` and `state.X` for the same slice
259
+
260
+ Wrong:
261
+
262
+ ```tsx
263
+ const table = useTable({
264
+ _features,
265
+ _rowModels: {},
266
+ columns,
267
+ data,
268
+ atoms: { pagination: paginationAtom },
269
+ state: { pagination }, // silently ignored
270
+ onPaginationChange: setPagination, // silently ignored
271
+ })
272
+ ```
273
+
274
+ Correct:
275
+
276
+ ```tsx
277
+ const table = useTable({
278
+ _features,
279
+ _rowModels: {},
280
+ columns,
281
+ data,
282
+ atoms: { pagination: paginationAtom },
283
+ })
284
+ ```
285
+
286
+ Precedence is `options.atoms[key]` > `options.state[key]` > internal. `state` is dropped without a warning when `atoms` is provided for the same slice.
287
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md`.
288
+
289
+ ### HIGH Using `table.Subscribe` inside a column cell or header render
290
+
291
+ Wrong:
292
+
293
+ ```tsx
294
+ cell: ({ row, table }) => (
295
+ <table.Subscribe
296
+ source={table.atoms.rowSelection}
297
+ selector={(s) => s[row.id]}
298
+ >
299
+ {(isSelected) => <input type="checkbox" checked={!!isSelected} />}
300
+ </table.Subscribe>
301
+ )
302
+ ```
303
+
304
+ Correct:
305
+
306
+ ```tsx
307
+ import { Subscribe } from '@tanstack/preact-table'
308
+
309
+ cell: ({ row, table }) => (
310
+ <Subscribe source={table.atoms.rowSelection} selector={(s) => s[row.id]}>
311
+ {(isSelected) => (
312
+ <input
313
+ type="checkbox"
314
+ checked={!!isSelected}
315
+ onChange={row.getToggleSelectedHandler()}
316
+ />
317
+ )}
318
+ </Subscribe>
319
+ )
320
+ ```
321
+
322
+ In cell and header render contexts, `table` is the core `Table<TFeatures, TData>`, not `PreactTable` — `table.Subscribe` is undefined. Use the standalone import.
323
+ Source: `packages/preact-table/src/Subscribe.ts`.
324
+
325
+ ### CRITICAL Creating an atom inside the render body without `useCreateAtom`
326
+
327
+ Wrong:
328
+
329
+ ```tsx
330
+ function MyTable() {
331
+ const sortingAtom = createAtom<SortingState>([]) // new atom every render
332
+ useTable({
333
+ _features,
334
+ _rowModels: {},
335
+ columns,
336
+ data,
337
+ atoms: { sorting: sortingAtom },
338
+ })
339
+ }
340
+ ```
341
+
342
+ Correct:
343
+
344
+ ```tsx
345
+ function MyTable() {
346
+ const sortingAtom = useCreateAtom<SortingState>([]) // stable across renders
347
+ useTable({
348
+ _features,
349
+ _rowModels: {},
350
+ columns,
351
+ data,
352
+ atoms: { sorting: sortingAtom },
353
+ })
354
+ }
355
+ ```
356
+
357
+ A fresh atom each render unbinds the table from the slice and resets the state to the initial value on every render.
358
+ Source: `examples/preact/basic-external-atoms/src/main.tsx`.
359
+
360
+ ### HIGH Unstable `data` / `columns` / `_features` references
361
+
362
+ Wrong:
363
+
364
+ ```tsx
365
+ function MyTable({ rows }) {
366
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature }) // new every render
367
+ const columns = [
368
+ /* … */
369
+ ] // new every render
370
+ const table = useTable({
371
+ _features,
372
+ _rowModels: {},
373
+ columns,
374
+ data: rows ?? [],
375
+ })
376
+ }
377
+ ```
378
+
379
+ Correct:
380
+
381
+ ```tsx
382
+ // Module scope — declared once.
383
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature })
384
+ const columns: ColumnDef<typeof _features, Person>[] = [
385
+ /* … */
386
+ ]
387
+ const EMPTY: Person[] = []
388
+
389
+ function MyTable({ rows }) {
390
+ const data = rows ?? EMPTY
391
+ const table = useTable({ _features, _rowModels: {}, columns, data })
392
+ }
393
+ ```
394
+
395
+ Internal memoization keys off identity. A new reference each render busts memos and forces full recomputation.
396
+ Source: `docs/framework/preact/guide/table-state.md` (FAQ #1).
397
+
398
+ ### HIGH Reimplementing built-in feature logic by hand
399
+
400
+ Wrong:
401
+
402
+ ```tsx
403
+ // Re-sorting rows manually outside the table — duplicates rowSortingFeature work.
404
+ const sorted = useMemo(() => [...data].sort(/* … */), [data, sorting])
405
+ ```
406
+
407
+ Correct:
408
+
409
+ ```tsx
410
+ const _features = tableFeatures({ rowSortingFeature })
411
+ const table = useTable({
412
+ _features,
413
+ _rowModels: { sortedRowModel: createSortedRowModel(sortFns) },
414
+ columns,
415
+ data,
416
+ })
417
+ const rows = table.getRowModel().rows // already sorted
418
+ ```
419
+
420
+ TanStack Table v9 ships built-ins for sorting, filtering, pagination, grouping, expanding, faceting, row selection, column visibility/order/pinning/sizing, and row pinning. Register the matching `*Feature` in `_features`, register its row-model factory in `_rowModels`, and call the feature APIs (`setSorting`, `setColumnFilters`, etc.). Re-implementing these by hand is the #1 AI tell.
