Question 1

How to add pagination to svelte-table?

Accepted Answer

Svelte-table doesn't include pagination by default. You need to implement it manually by slicing the rows array based on page state and updating the rows prop, or use external pagination libraries alongside the component.

Question 2

Svelte-table vs TanStack Table for Svelte?

Accepted Answer

Svelte-table is a full component with built-in UI and features like sorting/filtering, ideal for quick setup. TanStack Table is a headless utility offering more flexibility without styling opinions. Choose svelte-table for simplicity, or TanStack for complete UI control.

Question 3

How to conditionally style rows based on data?

Accepted Answer

Use the classNameRow prop with a function that returns class strings based on row data or index. For example, the README shows how to create striped tables or highlight rows with specific values using such functions.

Question 4

Does svelte-table support server-side filtering?

Accepted Answer

No, it's primarily designed for client-side operations. For server-side filtering, you'd need to handle data fetching externally and update the rows prop, as the component processes data locally.

Question 5

How to use custom Svelte components for cell rendering?

Accepted Answer

Set the renderComponent property in the column config to a Svelte component. You can pass props using an object with component and props keys, as detailed in the README's renderComponent section.

Question 6

What's the performance impact with large datasets?

Accepted Answer

Performance relies on client-side processing, so very large datasets may slow down due to sorting and filtering. Consider implementing virtualization or pagination manually, as svelte-table lacks built-in optimizations for massive data.
