🎯 Changes

Fixes #6594.

TableFeature hooks are typed with Table_Internal, which the dts rewrite strips and rewrites to Table. Table narrows options to TFeatures, so a custom feature cannot read the options it contributes itself, and every custom-plugin example had to cast:

return (table.options as TableOptions_Density).onDensityChange?.(safeUpdater)

This adds a published Table_AllTable widened to the all-features options, state, and row models — and rewrites Table_Internal onto it in TableFeatures.d.ts only. This is option 2 of the three the issue lists. It matches the _All convention already used across the public surface (TableOptions_All, TableState_All, CachedRowModel_All and five others are published today, and getDefaultTableOptions already returns Partial<TableOptions_All>).

Two details worth a reviewer's eye:

The rewrite is scoped to TableFeatures.d.ts. Header, Cell, Column and Row also reference Table_Internal. Rewriting those to Table_All too would widen store and atoms for ordinary consumers and make state slices optional — examples/react/virtualized-columns-experimental stops typechecking with 'state.columnSizing' is possibly 'undefined'. Those files keep plain Table.

Table_All is Table & { …widened members }, not a rebuild of the broad shape. Table_Internal does not include ExtractFeatureMapTypes, so defining Table_All from the same parts drops the feature APIs and table.getIsAllRowsSelected() disappears — examples/svelte/composable-tables catches that. Intersecting with Table keeps Table_All a strict superset, so this is additive for existing users.

Table_Internal is unchanged and still stripped from the emitted declarations, so the no-internal-types invariant from #6326 still holds.

Also drops the now-unneeded casts from the custom-plugin examples (react, preact, alpine, angular, ember, octane) and the two guides that carried them. The guides already claimed "you should have no TypeScript errors when you create the feature object", which the issue notes was untrue; it is now true. The vendored material-react-table example keeps its MRT_* casts — they still compile, and changing that example is out of scope here.

The de-casted examples double as the regression test: test:types runs on them in CI, so if the published hook type ever stops exposing all-features options, they fail.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm test and pnpm test:e2e, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

On testing, so you know exactly what was run rather than trusting the box: @tanstack/table-core test:lib (1330 tests), test:types, test:eslint and test:build all pass, and test:types passes for all six custom-plugin examples plus svelte/composable-tables, react/virtualized-columns-experimental and react/material-react-table. I could not complete a full nx affected run locally because @tanstack/table-devtools:build fails on my machine with [BABEL] … Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'explode') in packages/table-devtools/src/core.tsx; that reproduces identically on a clean main checkout, so it is pre-existing and unrelated, but it blocks the kitchen-sink examples that depend on devtools. test:e2e does not apply — there is no runtime change in this PR.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the exported Table_All type for comprehensive table configurations across features, options, state, and row models.
    • Custom feature hooks now receive strongly typed table information, making feature-specific options and state easier to access without manual type casting.
  • Documentation

    • Updated custom density feature guides and examples across supported frameworks to demonstrate streamlined, strongly typed callback usage.

Normalize the declaration path before selecting Table_All.

walkDeclarationFiles builds file with path.join. On Windows, file contains \, so this suffix check fails. The rewrite then selects Table instead of Table_All, and generated TableFeature hooks lose the new all-feature options typing. Normalize separators before suffix checks, or compare path components.

Good catch on the path separator — that was a real bug, not a style nit. walkDeclarationFiles builds paths with path.join, so on Windows the suffix check would never match and TableFeatures.d.ts would silently fall back to Table, meaning a Windows build would publish different types than a Linux one.

Fixed by normalizing separators in an isDeclarationPath helper, and applied it to the two pre-existing endsWith checks in ensurePublicTypeImports as well, since they had the same latent issue.

Rebuilt and re-verified: TableFeatures.d.ts still gets Table_All (8 references), Header/Cell/Column/Row still get plain Table, Table_Internal still does not leak, and table-core is green (1330 tests, types, eslint).
