[v8] Export TableHelper type

[david-crespo]

The return type of createTable is TableHelper, but this type cannot be imported from the library. I can easily work around this:

type TableHelper = ReturnType<typeof createTable>

However, it seems like exporting TableHelper would make sense.

For background, this is what I want to use it for:

export function createSelectCol(tableHelper: TableHelper) {
  return tableHelper.createDisplayColumn({
    id: 'select',
    header: ({ instance }) => (
      <Checkbox {...instance.getToggleAllRowsSelectedProps()} />
    ),
    cell: ({ row }) => (
      <div className="px-1">
        <Checkbox {...row.getToggleSelectedProps()} />
      </div>
    ),
  })
}

Edit: actually the ReturnType workaround doesn't work because it produces a non-generic TableHelper with all the type params fixed as unknown, which means you can't pass it a TableHelper with a non-unknown row type.

Argument of type 'TableHelper<User, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'TableHelper<unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown>'.

Here's another way to do it, which does actually work, though having to put all those any in there is a little sad.

export const selectColConfig = {
  id: 'select',
  header: ({ instance }: { instance: ReactTable<any, any, any, any, any> }) => (
    <Checkbox {...instance.getToggleAllRowsSelectedProps()} />
  ),
  cell: ({ row }: { row: Row<any, any, any, any, any> }) => (
    <div className="px-1">
      <Checkbox {...row.getToggleSelectedProps()} />
    </div>
  ),
}
