# TanStack Table v8 Virtualized Data Grids

Builds data grids with TanStack Table v8: defining ColumnDefs with custom cell renderers, sorting, global filtering, column pinning, and integrating with @tanstack/react-virtual for DOM virtualization.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- create tanstack table v8
- virtualize table rows react
- column pinning tanstack table

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Initialize table instance: const table = useReactTable({ data, columns, getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel() }).
2. Attach row virtualizer: const rowVirtualizer = useVirtualizer({ count: rows.length, getScrollElement, estimateSize: () => 48 }).
3. Render only virtual items: rowVirtualizer.getVirtualItems().map(virtualRow => ...) with transform translateY.
4. Set fixed cell heights to eliminate layout shifting during high-speed vertical scrolling.

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
