v7 Column TS type is defective ('disableSortBy' does not exist in type 'Column<{}>)

[tomliang-amzn]

react-table version: 7.8.0
@types/react-table version: 7.7.12
A Codesandbox link to reproduce the issues: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-table-disablesortby-typescript-h4wuhd?file=/src/App.tsx

If I create the columns object with Column type, TS is giving a lot of false alarms.

For example, if we want to disable sort on a particular column, we can pass disabledSortBy: false to the column object. This can be seen at #605. However, TS would complain about it:

'disableSortBy' does not exist in type 'Column<{}>'

I wonder if I am supposed to use other types for columns or the Column type is defective ?

I figured it out.

Long answer: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/react-table

tldr:
installing the type library @types/react-table doesn't mean we are all set with types for react-table. We need to create a file named react-table-config.d.ts in order for types depend upon declaration merging to work well. So depending on what what react-table plugin hooks you want to include, you can play around with the types in react-table-config.d.ts to make it give more or less type suggestion for the column or table.
You may also need to change tsconfig.json to include react-table-config.d.ts.
