createDataColumn gives error Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'AccessorFn<unknown>'.ts(2345)

[fahadahmedln]

I'm simply passing in a string as the first arg just like the docs show

table.createDataColumn("test", //error here
            { 
              id: field.FieldName,
              header: () => renderCellComponent(field),
              cell: (info: { getValue: () => string }) => info.getValue(),
            });

I get error:

Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'AccessorFn'.ts(2345)

I'm having the same issue with @tanstack/[email protected] and typescript@^4.7.4.

idk why this works, but the fix according to chatgpt, worked for me

[brady-man-847]

it returns (obj: unknown) => unknown

You need to add TYPE to your createColumnHelper, otherwise you will get this error:

GOOD: const columnHelper = createColumnHelper();
BAD: const columnHelper = createColumnHelper(); // no type

What's the difference here? they look the same to me

What's the difference here? they look the same to me

do this:

const columnHelper = createColumnHelper<MyRowType>();
