migrate-v8-to-v9

Use this as the complete breaking-change checklist. V9 is the current API; construction, feature registration, state, rendering, and types must migrate together.

Framework prerequisite: Angular 19 or newer (@angular/core >=19).

Recommended Migration Order

1. Replace createAngularTable with injectTable inside an Angular injection context.
2. Hoist static/expensive features and columns outside the reactive initializer.
3. Move features, row models, and function registries into tableFeatures.
4. Update signal/atom state reads and FlexRender usage.
5. Apply every shared API and type rename below.
6. Treat stockFeatures as a temporary audit bridge; explicit features are the production target.

const features = tableFeatures({
  rowSortingFeature,
  sortedRowModel: createSortedRowModel(),
  sortFns: { alphanumeric: sortFn_alphanumeric },
})

class TableCmp {
  readonly table = injectTable(() => ({
    features,
    columns,
    data: this.data(),
  }))
}

Construction and Feature Registration

v8	v9
createAngularTable(() => options)	injectTable(() => options) in injection context
All features bundled	Required features: tableFeatures({...})
getCoreRowModel() option	Remove; core row model is automatic
get*RowModel() table options	create*RowModel() slots in tableFeatures
sortingFns table option	sortFns feature slot
Top-level onStateChange	Per-slice callbacks, external atoms, or store subscription

The initializer reruns when signals read inside it change and calls setOptions; do not rebuild columns or features there.

Feature imports are cellSelectionFeature, columnFilteringFeature, globalFilteringFeature, rowSortingFeature, rowPaginationFeature, rowSelectionFeature, rowExpandingFeature, rowPinningFeature, columnPinningFeature, columnVisibilityFeature, columnOrderingFeature, columnSizingFeature, columnResizingFeature, rowAggregationFeature, columnGroupingFeature, and columnFacetingFeature. APIs are feature-gated. Put a feature before its dependent slot in the same tableFeatures call. Aggregation is independent from grouping: register rowAggregationFeature for aggregation APIs and add columnGroupingFeature only for grouped rows.
