Component Schema (Fully Documented):

/**
 * Schema definition for the enterprise data table component.
 * Supports sorting, pagination, search, row selection, CSV export, row actions,
 * column resizing, and column reordering.
 */
interface DataTableSchema {
  caption?: string;          // Table caption
  columns: Column[];         // Column definitions
  data: any[];              // Data with 'id' for stable identification
  pagination?: boolean;      // Enable pagination (default: true)
  pageSize?: number;        // Rows per page (default: 10)
  searchable?: boolean;     // Enable search (default: true)
  selectable?: boolean;     // Enable selection (default: false)
  sortable?: boolean;       // Enable sorting (default: true)
  exportable?: boolean;     // Enable CSV export (default: false)
  rowActions?: boolean;     // Show action buttons (default: false)
  resizableColumns?: boolean;      // Enable column resizing by dragging (default: true)
  reorderableColumns?: boolean;    // Enable column reordering by dragging (default: true)
  onRowEdit?: (row) => void;         // Edit callback
  onRowDelete?: (row) => void;       // Delete callback
  onSelectionChange?: (rows) => void; // Selection callback

  className?: string;       // Custom CSS classes
}

interface Column {
  header: string;           // Display name
  accessorKey: string;      // Data field key

  // ... other properties
}

Column Resizing Implementation

Visual Handle: Resize handle appears on hover at column borders
Minimum Width: 50px minimum to prevent columns from becoming too narrow
State Persistence: Column widths maintained in component state during session
Mouse Events: Smooth drag interaction with proper mousedown/mousemove/mouseup handling

Column Reordering Implementation

Drag & Drop: HTML5 drag and drop API for native browser support
Visual Feedback: GripVertical icon, opacity effect on dragged column, border indicator on drop target
State Management: Column order tracked in state with callback support
Flexible: Can be enabled/disabled globally or per-column

+const DataTableRenderer = ({ schema }: { schema: DataTableSchema }) => {


The DataTableRenderer function lacks JSDoc documentation. According to coding guidelines, components should have JSDoc explaining their purpose, parameters, and usage examples, especially for open-source community documentation.

Added comprehensive JSDoc documentation for the DataTableRenderer function including purpose, features list, usage example, parameter descriptions, and return type. Commit: 1474d29

The Column and DataTableSchema interfaces lack JSDoc documentation. Per coding guidelines (Rule #3), all schema properties should have JSDoc to enable auto-generated documentation for the open-source community.

Added detailed JSDoc documentation to both Column and DataTableSchema interfaces. Each property now has inline documentation explaining its purpose, type, and default values. Commit: 1474d29

The getRowId helper function lacks JSDoc documentation explaining its purpose of generating stable row identifiers for selection persistence across pagination/sorting operations.

Added JSDoc documentation for the getRowId helper function explaining its purpose of generating stable row identifiers for selection persistence across pagination and sorting operations. Commit: 1474d29
