# Types for react-table v7

These types depend upon declaration merging to work well.

To get started, create a file `react-table-config.d.ts` using the example further down this readme, place it in your source tree (e.g. into a types folder). This expands the default types with all of the plugin extensions currently in the type definitions.

You can stop here if you like, but while this is simple, it's a bit misleading. Out of the box, these types will suggest that you have access to values that come from plugins that you aren't using, i.e. the error checking is substantially weakened.

To bring the resulting types into better alignment with your plugins, you should edit your local copy of `react-table-config.d.ts` and remove all of the interfaces that don't apply to your chosen set of plugins.

e.g.

if you are only using `useSortBy` and `usePagination` then you would take this:

```tsx
extends UseExpandedOptions<D>,
  UseFiltersOptions<D>,
  UseGroupByOptions<D>,
  UsePaginationOptions<D>,
  UseRowSelectOptions<D>,
  UseSortByOptions<D>,
  UseFiltersOptions<D>,
  UseResizeColumnsOptions<D>,
  Record<string, any> {}
```

and convert it to this:

```tsx
export interface TableOptions<D extends object>
  extends UsePaginationOptions<D>,
    UseSortByOptions<D> {}
```

Then follow the same pattern for all of the other interfaces in the file. You'll notice that many plugins don't extend all of the top-level interfaces.

## Caveat

The interfaces are all global. If you have several different configurations for the table, you should create interfaces using the union of all of the plugins that you are using.

      // feature set, this is a safe default.
