Why should I use cell.render("Cell") instead of cell.value ?

Hello, I'm confused, what's the point of cell.render("Cell") when I can just write cell.value?
I see in my browser that it renders the same way. So, why should I use the first one?

The render call formats your cell using the columns Cell formatter.

@tannerlinsley, Thanks. One more question: For some unusual reason, I want the cells to render their column name instead of cell value. Can I easily get the column name of the cell without this long workaround?

<td>{tableColumns.find((x) => x.accessor === cell.column.id)?.Header}</td>

That's because I found cell.column.id but I cannot find anything like this: cell.column.name.

cell.column.render(”Header”) Tanner Linsley
