## Setup Framework adapters should use their lifecycle hook or injector. The framework-neutral registration primitive is: ```ts import { constructTable, tableFeatures } from '@tanstack/table-core' import { storeReactivityBindings } from '@tanstack/table-core/store-reactivity-bindings' import { upsertTableDevtoolsTarget } from '@tanstack/table-devtools' const features = tableFeatures({ coreReactivityFeature: storeReactivityBindings(), }) const table = constructTable({ key: 'users-table', features, columns: [], data: [], }) const cleanup = upsertTableDevtoolsTarget({ table }) cleanup() ``` ## Core Patterns ### Give every live table a descriptive unique key The non-empty `options.key` is both registry identity and panel label. Use stable application identity, not an array index. ### Let adapter lifecycles own registration React/Preact/Solid/Vue hooks and the Angular injector register and clean up at the correct time. Use core target functions only for unsupported frameworks or infrastructure code. ### Keep ordinary Devtools development-only Default entrypoints export no-op panels/plugins outside development. Use `/production` only when the application explicitly chooses production inspection and its security/bundle implications. ## Common Mistakes ### HIGH Missing key skips registration Wrong: register a table whose `options.key` is absent or whitespace. Correct: set a stable value such as `key: 'billing-invoices'` before registration. The registry logs the missing-key error and returns without adding a target. Source: TanStack/table:packages/table-devtools/src/tableTarget.ts ### HIGH Two tables share one key Wrong: use `key: 'table'` for simultaneous tables. Correct: use unique domain identities such as `users-table` and `orders-table`. Upserting a different table under an existing key replaces that registration. Source: TanStack/table:packages/table-devtools/src/tableTarget.ts ### MEDIUM Production panel expected by default Wrong: debug why the normal entrypoint renders nothing in production. Correct: keep Devtools development-only unless production inspection was explicitly requested; then import the documented `/production` entrypoint. Default production exports intentionally use no-op implementations. Source: TanStack/table:docs/devtools.md ## API Discovery Inspect `node_modules/@tanstack/table-devtools/dist/index.d.ts`, `tableTarget.d.ts`, and `production.d.ts`. Framework registration belongs to the matching `@tanstack/<framework>-table-devtools` package.
