When we construct a row, we iterate over the table's features and initialise any which have an initRowInstanceData.

This is expensive since most don't have such a method.

We actually know when we construct the table which features have this method. This changes the table construction to store the initialisers up front so when we create a row, we can just iterate the already known initialisers.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm test:pr.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Improved table instance creation by precomputing and reusing per-feature initialization callbacks across rows, cells, columns, headers, and header groups.
    • Instance setup now reuses cached initialization steps instead of re-walking feature hooks during each build.
  • New Features
    • Added/extended per-instance lifecycle hooks so features can initialize mutable data for cells, columns, headers, and header groups.
  • Documentation
    • Updated custom-feature guides and API references to describe the new initialization hooks and their lifecycle.

When we construct a row, we iterate over the table's features and
initialise any which have an `initRowInstanceData`.

This is expensive since most don't have such a method.

We actually know when we construct the table which features have this
method. This changes the table construction to store the initialisers up
front so when we create a row, we can just iterate the already known
initialisers.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The table core now precomputes feature instance-initialization callbacks for cells, columns, headers, header groups, and rows. Constructors invoke these callbacks, with tests covering lifecycle timing and caching. Framework guides and generated references document the expanded feature API.

Changes

Feature instance initialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and cache initializer callbacks
packages/table-core/src/types/TableFeatures.ts, packages/table-core/src/core/table/*
Adds typed lifecycle hooks and precomputed, feature-bound callback caches for supported table instances.
Invoke callbacks during construction
packages/table-core/src/core/{cells,columns,headers,rows}/*
Runs cached callbacks when cells, columns, headers, header groups, and rows are created.
Validate lifecycle behavior
packages/table-core/tests/unit/core/*
Tests callback binding, initialization timing, instance annotations, caching, and memoization.
Update guides and references
docs/framework/*/guide/custom-features.md, docs/reference/**/*
Documents the new hooks, cache properties, lifecycle behavior, and synchronized generated references.

164-219: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Instance-init-fn cache fields are always set but typed optional, forcing scattered ! assertions.

constructTable unconditionally assigns _cellInstanceInitFns/_columnInstanceInitFns/_headerGroupInstanceInitFns/_headerInstanceInitFns/_rowInstanceInitFns for every table (constructTable.ts lines 208-212), so they're always defined by the time cells/columns/headers/header-groups are constructed. Declaring them optional in Table_CoreProperties forces every consumer to use a non-null assertion, which silently hides a TypeError risk if this invariant is ever broken by a future code path.

  • packages/table-core/src/core/table/coreTablesFeature.types.ts#L164-L219: drop the ? on all five _*InstanceInitFns fields (make them required, defaulted to [] conceptually) so the type reflects the real invariant.
  • packages/table-core/src/core/cells/constructCell.ts#L54-L59: drop the ! on table._cellInstanceInitFns once the field is non-optional.
  • packages/table-core/src/core/columns/constructColumn.ts#L120-L123: drop the ! on table._columnInstanceInitFns once the field is non-optional.
  • packages/table-core/src/core/headers/buildHeaderGroups.ts#L54-L55: drop the ! on table._headerGroupInstanceInitFns once the field is non-optional.
  • packages/table-core/src/core/headers/constructHeader.ts#L66-L71: drop the ! on table._headerInstanceInitFns once the field is non-optional.

Fix the initializer-cache return values in generated references.

The generated docs show these properties returning void[], while the #### Returns sections say void. Align the return docs with the declared array contract in the affected generated files.

### \_cellInstanceInitFns?

```ts
optional _cellInstanceInitFns: <TFeatures, TData, TValue>(cell) => void[];
```

Defined in: [core/table/coreTablesFeature.types.ts:167](https://github.com/TanStack/table/blob/main/packages/table-core/src/core/table/coreTablesFeature.types.ts#L167)

Cache of the `initCellInstanceData` functions for features that define one.

#### Type Parameters

##### TFeatures

`TFeatures` *extends* [`TableFeatures`](TableFeatures.md)

##### TData

`TData` *extends* [`RowData`](../type-aliases/RowData.md)

##### TValue

`TValue` *extends* `unknown` = `unknown`

#### Parameters

##### cell

[`Cell`](../type-aliases/Cell.md)\<`TFeatures`, `TData`, `TValue`\>

#### Returns

`void`

#### Inherited from

[`Table_CoreProperties`](Table_CoreProperties.md).[`_cellInstanceInitFns`](Table_CoreProperties.md#_cellinstanceinitfns)

Document initializer caches as arrays, not callable properties.

The upstream contract defines these properties as optional arrays of callbacks, e.g. Array<NonNullable<TableFeature['initCellInstanceData']>>. The generated entries currently render each cache as a generic function returning void[], including incorrect parameter/return sections. Regenerate or correct these five API entries.

Also applies to: 86-122, 158-190, 194-230, 266-298
