What's best ReactTable or useTable or why don't I see much use of ReactTable

[erikswed]

I learn Javascript and React and reading about react-table trying to learn it.

I came across this codesandbox that uses import ReactTable from "react-table" and when reading the docs I cant find any example of this ReactTable import

Is this ReactTable about to be deprecated maybe? I see the hook style useTable looks more versatile

Any thought?

Before v7 was released, react-table used to provide UI components as you can see in that code sandbox.

V7 onwards, however, react-table has been changed to a headless table utility library, meaning that you'll need to provide the UI yourself while react-table will help you with populating the table with data & applying sorting, pagination etc.

In summary, follow the documentation & start by using useTable hook to create a basic table. Hope that helps.
