## Table Patterns

### Basic TanStack Table Setup
```tsx
import {
  useReactTable,
  getCoreRowModel,
  getSortedRowModel,
  getFilteredRowModel,
  getPaginationRowModel,
  flexRender,
  type ColumnDef,
} from "@tanstack/react-table"
import {
  Table,
  TableBody,
  TableCell,
  TableHead,
  TableHeader,
  TableRow,
} from "@/components/ui/table"
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuItem,
  DropdownMenuLabel,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dropdown-menu"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { MoreHorizontal } from "lucide-react"

interface Payment {
  id: string
  amount: number
  status: "pending" | "processing" | "success" | "failed"
  email: string
  createdAt: Date
}

const columns: ColumnDef<Payment>[] = [
  {
    accessorKey: "status",
    header: "Status",
    cell: ({ row }) => (
      <div className="capitalize">
        <Badge 
          variant={
            row.getValue("status") === "success" 
              ? "default" 
              : row.getValue("status") === "failed" 
              ? "destructive" 
              : "secondary"
          }
        >
          {row.getValue("status")}

          </Button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Advanced Filtering
```tsx
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuCheckboxItem,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dropdown-menu"

// Column visibility toggle
<DropdownMenu>
  <DropdownMenuTrigger asChild>
    <Button variant="outline" className="ml-auto">
      Columns <ChevronDown className="ml-2 h-4 w-4" />
    </Button>
  </DropdownMenuTrigger>
  <DropdownMenuContent align="end">
    {table
      .getAllColumns()
      .filter((column) => column.getCanHide())
      .map((column) => {
        return (
          <DropdownMenuCheckboxItem
            key={column.id}
            className="capitalize"
            checked={column.getIsVisible()}
            onCheckedChange={(value) =>
              column.toggleVisibility(!!value)
            }
          >
            {column.id}
          </DropdownMenuCheckboxItem>
        )
      })}
  </DropdownMenuContent>
</DropdownMenu>

// Global filter
const [globalFilter, setGlobalFilter] = React.useState("")

<Input
  placeholder="Search all columns..."
  value={globalFilter ?? ""}
  onChange={(event) => setGlobalFilter(event.target.value)}
  className="max-w-sm"
/>
```

### Data Formatting Utilities
```tsx
// Currency formatter
export const formatCurrency = (amount: number, currency = 'USD') => {
  return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
    style: 'currency',
    currency,
  }).format(amount)
}

// Date formatter
export const formatDate = (date: Date | string, options?: Intl.DateTimeFormatOptions) => {
  const defaultOptions: Intl.DateTimeFormatOptions = {
    year: 'numeric',
    month: 'short',
    day: 'numeric',
  }
  
  return new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { ...defaultOptions, ...options })
    .format(new Date(date))
}

// Number formatter with suffixes
export const formatNumber = (num: number, precision = 1) => {
  const suffixes = ['', 'K', 'M', 'B', 'T']
  const suffixNum = Math.floor(Math.log10(Math.abs(num)) / 3)
  const shortValue = (num / Math.pow(1000, suffixNum))
  
  return shortValue.toFixed(precision) + suffixes[suffixNum]
}

// Status badge component
export const StatusBadge = ({ status }: { status: string }) => {
  const variants = {
    active: "default",
    inactive: "secondary",
    pending: "outline",
    error: "destructive",
  } as const

  return (
    <Badge variant={variants[status as keyof typeof variants] || "secondary"}>
      {status}
    </Badge>
  )
}
```

## Chart Integration

### Recharts Example
```tsx
import {
  LineChart,
  Line,
  XAxis,
  YAxis,
  CartesianGrid,
  Tooltip,
  ResponsiveContainer,
  PieChart,
  Pie,
  Cell,
} from "recharts"
import { Card, CardContent, CardDescription, CardHeader, CardTitle } from "@/components/ui/card"

const data = [
  { name: 'Jan', value: 400 },
  { name: 'Feb', value: 300 },
  { name: 'Mar', value: 600 },
  { name: 'Apr', value: 800 },
  { name: 'May', value: 500 },
]

export function RevenueChart() {
  return (
    <Card>
      <CardHeader>
        <CardTitle>Revenue Over Time</CardTitle>
        <CardDescription>Monthly revenue for the past 5 months</CardDescription>
      </CardHeader>
      <CardContent>
        <ResponsiveContainer width="100%" height={300}>
          <LineChart data={data}>
            <CartesianGrid strokeDasharray="3 3" />
            <XAxis 
              dataKey="name" 
              tick={{ fontSize: 12 }}
              tickLine={{ stroke: '#ccc' }}
            />
            <YAxis 
              tick={{ fontSize: 12 }}
              tickLine={{ stroke: '#ccc' }}
            />
            <Tooltip 
              contentStyle={{
                backgroundColor: 'hsl(var(--background))',
                border: '1px solid hsl(var(--border))',
                borderRadius: '6px'
              }}
            />
            <Line 
              type="monotone" 
              dataKey="value" 
              stroke="hsl(var(--primary))" 
              strokeWidth={2}
            />
          </LineChart>
        </ResponsiveContainer>
      </CardContent>
    </Card>
  )
}
```

### Custom Progress Components
```tsx
import { Progress } from "@/components/ui/progress"

export function DataProgress({ 
  value, 
  max = 100, 
  label,
  showValue = true 
}: {
  value: number
  max?: number
  label?: string
  showValue?: boolean
}) {
  const percentage = (value / max) * 100

  return (
    <div className="space-y-2">
      <div className="flex justify-between text-sm">
        {label && <span className="font-medium">{label}</span>}
        {showValue && (
          <span className="text-muted-foreground">
            {value} / {max}
          </span>
        )}
      </div>
      <Progress value={percentage} />
    </div>
  )
}

// Usage in table cell
{
  accessorKey: "progress",
  header: "Completion",
  cell: ({ row }) => (
    <DataProgress
      value={row.getValue("progress")}
      max={100}
      label="Progress"
    />
  ),
}
```

## Advanced Features

### Virtual Scrolling for Large Datasets
```tsx
import { useVirtualizer } from '@tanstack/react-virtual'

export function VirtualizedTable({ data }: { data: any[] }) {
  const parentRef = React.useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)

  const virtualizer = useVirtualizer({
    count: data.length,
    getScrollElement: () => parentRef.current,
    estimateSize: () => 50, // Row height
    overscan: 10,
  })

  return (
    <div
      ref={parentRef}
      className="h-96 overflow-auto"
    >
      <div
        style={{
          height: `${virtualizer.getTotalSize()}px`,
          width: '100%',
          position: 'relative',
        }}
      >
        {virtualizer.getVirtualItems().map((virtualRow) => (
          <div
            key={virtualRow.key}
            style={{
              position: 'absolute',
              top: 0,
              left: 0,
              width: '100%',
              height: `${virtualRow.size}px`,
              transform: `translateY(${virtualRow.start}px)`,
            }}
          >
            {/* Row content */}
            <div className="flex items-center p-4 border-b">
              {data[virtualRow.index].name}
            </div>
          </div>
        ))}
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
```

### Export Functionality
```tsx
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { Download } from "lucide-react"

export function ExportButton({ data, filename = 'data' }: {
  data: any[]
  filename?: string
}) {
  const exportToCSV = () => {
    if (!data.length) return

    const headers = Object.keys(data[0]).join(',')
    const rows = data.map(row => 
      Object.values(row).map(value => 
        typeof value === 'string' ? `"${value}"` : value
      ).join(',')
    ).join('\n')

    const csv = `${headers}\n${rows}`
    const blob = new Blob([csv], { type: 'text/csv' })
    const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob)
    
    const link = document.createElement('a')
    link.href = url
    link.download = `${filename}.csv`
    link.click()
    
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url)
  }

  return (
    <Button variant="outline" onClick={exportToCSV}>
      <Download className="mr-2 h-4 w-4" />
      Export CSV
    </Button>
  )
}
```

## Best Practices

1. **Performance**
   - Use virtualization for large datasets (1000+ rows)
   - Implement proper memoization with React.memo
   - Debounce search/filter inputs
   - Use server-side pagination when possible

2. **Accessibility**
   - Include proper ARIA labels for sortable columns
   - Ensure keyboard navigation works
   - Provide screen reader announcements for data changes
   - Use semantic table markup

3. **User Experience**
   - Show loading states during data fetching
   - Provide empty state messages
   - Include pagination controls
   - Make columns resizable and sortable
   - Implement persistent column preferences

4. **Data Integrity**
   - Validate data types before rendering
   - Handle null/undefined values gracefully
   - Provide fallback values for missing data
   - Include error boundaries for chart components

Remember: Data should tell a story - make it clear, accessible, and actionable!
