Dynamic initialState based on state

[AlexMachin1997]

Hi everyone,

I'm just starting to integrate react-table into a project at work, so far it's been relatively easy to get working even with react-query for server-side data fetching.

Whilst thinking about how I could have used react-table in previous project I was thinking about pre-populating data. I can see you can provide an initialState which is great, though I've only ever seen static examples.

So heres my actual question. If I call useTable and then update the initialState will that update the state internally ?

Example Scenairo:

A user interacts with the table, as they are interacting with the table it's saving those values somewhere weather that is an external api or a local web storage api like sessionStorage.

That user then comes back to the table, useTable is called with a blank initialState, initialState is based on state so if I updated the state would that be reflected by the tables internal state e.g. pageIndex, pageCount, sortBy etc

Any comments are greatly appreciated 😄
