elm-table

Installation

Before we dig into the API, let's get you set up.

Install the package

elm install viewengine/elm-table

That writes viewengine/elm-table into the dependencies of your elm.json. There is nothing to install with npm or bun: the package is pure Elm, has no ports, and ships no JavaScript.

Requirements
Elm 0.19.1 (the elm.json constraint is 0.19.0 <= v < 0.20.0)
Dependencies elm/core and elm/time
Browser support whatever your Elm app already supports; the package touches no DOM API

elm/time is a dependency because Table.Value has a Date case that carries a Time.Posix. If your data has no dates you never have to import it.

Modules

Five modules are exposed.

Module What it holds
Table Config, State, Row, RowModel, the column builders, the six pipeline stages, and every state transition.
Table.Value The one cell value type and its two coercions.
Table.SortFn Built-in sort functions.
Table.FilterFn Built-in filter functions.
Table.AggregationFn Built-in aggregations for group rows.

A typical import block:

import Table
import Table.AggregationFn as AggregationFn
import Table.FilterFn as FilterFn
import Table.SortFn as SortFn
import Table.Value as Value

Nothing is opt-in. Unlike TanStack v9 there is no tableFeatures({...}) registration step, because Elm's dead-code elimination already drops the stages you never call. Every feature is available from the moment you install the package, and a table that only reads Table.rowsFromList pays for the core row model alone once elm make --optimize has run.
