## Type Parameters

### TData

`TData` *extends* `RowData`

## Parameters

### options

[`LegacyTableOptions`](../type-aliases/LegacyTableOptions.md)\<`TData`\>

## Deprecated

This hook is provided as a compatibility layer for migrating from TanStack Table v8.

Use the new `useTable` hook instead with explicit `_features` and `_rowModels`:

```tsx
// New v9 API
const _features = tableFeatures({
  columnFilteringFeature,
  rowSortingFeature,
  rowPaginationFeature,
})

const table = useTable({
  _features,
  _rowModels: {
    filteredRowModel: createFilteredRowModel(filterFns),
    sortedRowModel: createSortedRowModel(sortFns),
    paginatedRowModel: createPaginatedRowModel(),
  },
  columns,
  data,
})
```

Key differences from v8:
- Features are tree-shakeable - only import what you use
- Row models are explicitly passed via `_rowModels`
- Use `table.Subscribe` for fine-grained re-renders
- State is accessed via `table.state` after selecting with the 2nd argument
