v8: What's the best way to recreate the Data Driven Classes and Styles example from v7?

[kdeggelman]

The v7 documentation shows an example for Data Driven Classes and Styles where a column is able to define a styles and className attribute:

{
  Header: 'Name',
  columns: [
    {
      Header: 'First Name',
      accessor: 'firstName',
      className: 'user',
      style: {
        fontWeight: 'bolder',
      },
    },
  ],
},

Is there equivalent functionality for v8?

I've looked at:

• Custom column "collapse" property in typescript #2421
• I define a custom meta type for columns, but VsCode is not inferring type #4072

But a more definitive answer or example would be greatly appreciated.

The solution to this question #4097 seems to be the easiest to implement but comes with drawback of casting cell.column.columnDef.meta as any.

This solution is also noted here: #4439
