Build and render TanStack Table v9 tables in Alpine, with data updates reflected in the interface. Covers table setup, Alpine markup, cell rendering, and guidance for sharing defaults and reusable UI across tables.

OriginalShow the original description

Create and render Table v9 with the alpine adapter. Route reusable createTableHook defaults, and framework setup; use table-state for reactive ownership.

See how to install

Good for

  • Building a basic table in Alpine
  • Reflecting replaced data arrays in a table
  • Adding buttons and inputs to table markup
  • Sharing defaults and reusable UI across tables

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Load intent load @tanstack/table-core#core first for the headless model, stable inputs, and column inference.

Setup

import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
import {
  FlexRender,
  createTable,
  tableFeatures,
  type ColumnDef,
} from '@tanstack/alpine-table'

type Person = { id: string; name: string }
const features = tableFeatures({})
const columns: Array<ColumnDef<typeof features, Person>> = [
  { accessorKey: 'name', header: 'Name' },
]

Alpine.data('peopleTable', () => {
  const local = Alpine.reactive({
    data: [{ id: '1', name: 'Ada' }] as Array<Person>,
  })
  const table = createTable({
    features,
    columns,
    get data() {
      return local.data
    },
    getRowId: (row) => row.id,
  })

  return { table, FlexRender }
})

window.Alpine = Alpine
Alpine.start()

Render real table structure with x-for; use x-html="FlexRender({ header })" or x-html="FlexRender({ cell })" only for renderer output.

Construction and rendering

Wrap changing data in Alpine.reactive and expose it with get data(). The adapter tracks option getters; data: local.data captures a snapshot and does not follow later array replacements. Keep static columns and features outside getters.

The returned table is a reactive proxy. Read Table APIs directly in x-text, x-for, x-if, or bound attributes; no Subscribe component is needed.

Build table structure and interactive controls as real Alpine markup. Use x-html="FlexRender({ header })" or x-html="FlexRender({ cell })" for renderer output. Alpine does not initialize directives inside x-html strings; use templates or Alpine.bind bundles for buttons and inputs.

Read for the task

  • When adding or configuring optional features, load intent load @tanstack/table-core#table-features and read only references for the requested behavior.
  • For state ownership or reactive reads, read table-state.
  • When tables share features, defaults, or reusable UI, read create-table-hook.

API discovery

Inspect node_modules/@tanstack/alpine-table/dist/index.d.ts, createTable.d.ts, and reactivity.d.ts. Core feature APIs are in node_modules/@tanstack/table-core/dist/features/.
