DataTable

DataTable keeps Hewn visuals while TanStack owns sorting state and column definitions. Use the foundation Table for simpler static grids.

Usage

import { DataTable, type ColumnDef } from "@hewnui/ui";

const columns: ColumnDef<Row>[] = [
  { accessorKey: "name", header: "Name" },
  { accessorKey: "score", header: "Score" },
];

<DataTable aria-label="Scores" columns={columns} data={rows} />

Accessibility

• aria-label is a required prop, so the table is never unnamed
• React Aria grid semantics: arrow keys move between cells, Home/End jump along a row
• The first column is the row header, giving each row a name when a cell is read in isolation
• Sortable headers expose aria-sort (none, ascending, descending) and toggle with Enter or Space — the caret glyph is aria-hidden, so sort state never depends on seeing it
• Sorting is driven through React Aria's sortDescriptor, so the announcement stays in sync with the TanStack sort state
