Devtools

This skill builds on @tanstack/table-core#core and @tanstack/table-devtools#devtools.

Setup

import { Component } from '@angular/core'
import { injectTable, tableFeatures } from '@tanstack/angular-table'
import { injectTanStackTableDevtools } from '@tanstack/angular-table-devtools'

const features = tableFeatures({})
const columns = [{ accessorKey: 'id' }]
const data: Array<{ id: string }> = []

@Component({ selector: 'users-table', template: 'Users table registered' })
export class UsersTable {
  readonly table = injectTable(() => ({
    key: 'users-table',
    features,
    columns,
    data,
  }))

  constructor() {
    injectTanStackTableDevtools(() => ({ table: this.table }))
  }
}

Provide the Angular TanStack Devtools host once at application configuration level as documented in docs/devtools.md.

Hooks and Components

The injector options function may return table: undefined or an enabled function to remove/disable registration reactively.

Common Mistakes

CRITICAL Injector called outside context

Wrong: call injectTanStackTableDevtools from an arbitrary callback after bootstrap.

Correct: call it in a component/service field initializer or constructor injection context.

The adapter uses Angular injection and effects for lifecycle cleanup.

Source: TanStack/table:packages/angular-table-devtools/src/injectTanStackTableDevtools.ts

HIGH Missing table key

Wrong: register an otherwise valid table without options.key.

Correct: assign a stable unique key before injection registration.

Core registration logs an error and skips keyless targets.

Source: TanStack/table:packages/table-devtools/src/tableTarget.ts

MEDIUM isDevMode no-op misunderstood

Wrong: expect default Angular exports to render production Devtools.

Correct: keep standard setup development-only; use /production only when explicitly requested.

The package index switches exports using Angular isDevMode().

API Discovery

Inspect node_modules/@tanstack/angular-table-devtools/dist/index.d.ts and injectTanStackTableDevtools.d.ts for current injection options.
