Built a shadcn/ui table heavily inspired by MRT

[Monabbir-Ahmmad]

Hey Kevin 👋

I used MRT for years and didn't really appreciate how much it was doing until my team moved to Tailwind/shadcn and I had to replace it. I couldn't find anything in the shadcn ecosystem that felt comparable, so I ended up building the table I was missing.

shadcn-react-table is a data table for shadcn/ui built on TanStack Table v8. It's shipped as a registry block, so people copy the source into their project instead of installing a package. The API is heavily inspired by MRT V3—same enable* flags, renderDetailPanel, density, editing modes, localization/icon overrides, etc. I basically tried to preserve the parts of MRT that made it so nice to use.

If you ever have a few minutes to check it out, I'd love to hear if there are any parts of MRT's API you'd design differently now. I'm still early enough that I can make changes. I'd also be interested in what you think about the copy-the-source approach versus publishing a package, since you've been on the library side of things.

No pressure at all, though. I mostly just wanted to say thanks for building MRT. It made a big impact on how I think about table APIs. And if you'd prefer the MRT credit in the repo to be worded differently, just let me know.
