React Table, particularly version 7, is a widely used library that simplifies table creation in React applications through a modern, Hooks-based API. Created by Tanner Linsley, the library underwent significant refactoring to become a UI, style, and markup-agnostic tool, aiming for flexibility and performance. React Table v7 is designed to be lightweight, headless, and extensible, offering features like sorting, filtering, pagination, and integration with Material UI, while allowing developers to render their own table markup. The library supports server-side data, stable multi-sorting, and a new Hooks-based plugin system, making it customizable and suitable for complex data grid compositions. It encourages the use of functional components and integrates seamlessly with modern tools, enhancing the development experience by enabling the creation of dynamic, feature-rich tables without building them from scratch.
