This skill builds on @tanstack/table-core#core and @tanstack/table-devtools#devtools. ## Setup ```tsx import { TanStackDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-devtools' import { useTable, tableFeatures } from '@tanstack/react-table' import { tableDevtoolsPlugin, useTanStackTableDevtools, } from '@tanstack/react-table-devtools' const features = tableFeatures({}) const columns = [{ accessorKey: 'id' }] const data: Array<{ id: string }> = [] export function App() { const table = useTable({ key: 'users-table', features, columns, data, }) useTanStackTableDevtools(table) return <TanStackDevtools plugins={[tableDevtoolsPlugin()]} /> } ``` ## Hooks and Components Use `useTanStackTableDevtools(table, { enabled })` immediately after creating the table. Mount one TanStackDevtools host with `tableDevtoolsPlugin()` near the application root. ## Common Mistakes ### HIGH Hook receives a keyless table Wrong: create the table without `key` and expect the hook to infer a name. Correct: set a unique `key` in table options before calling the hook. Core target registration skips keyless tables. Source: TanStack/table:docs/devtools.md ### HIGH Hook called conditionally Wrong: call `useTanStackTableDevtools` only inside an `if` branch. Correct: call it every render and pass `{ enabled: condition }`. The hook owns React effect registration and cleanup. Source: TanStack/table:packages/react-table-devtools/src/useTanStackTableDevtools.ts ### MEDIUM Default import expected in production Wrong: expect the normal hook/plugin/panel to inspect production tables. Correct: keep normal guidance development-only; use the `/production` entrypoint only when explicitly required. The default index selects no-op implementations outside development. Source: TanStack/table:packages/react-table-devtools/src/index.ts ## API Discovery Inspect `node_modules/@tanstack/react-table-devtools/dist/index.d.ts` and `useTanStackTableDevtools.d.ts` for the installed lifecycle API.
