🎯 Changes

Fixes #4906

A group column whose leaves are pinned to different regions renders one header per region (getStartHeaderGroups(), getCenterHeaderGroups(), getEndHeaderGroups()), but every one of those headers shares the same group column. header.column.getIsPinned() returns 'start' when any leaf is pinned start, so the group header rendered in the end region reports 'start'. In the column-pinning-split example, pinning "firstName" to the start and "Last Name" to the end shows the "Name" header in the end table with start-pinned buttons.

This adds header.getIsPinned(). It reads the region shared by the leaf columns the header renders, and returns false when they are unpinned or span more than one region. header.getLeafHeaders() also returns the header itself and any intermediate group headers, so those are skipped. column.getIsPinned() is unchanged.

  • header_getIsPinned in columnPinningFeature.utils.ts, registered on the header prototype through assignHeaderPrototype, and typed as Header_ColumnPinning in Header_FeatureMap.
  • Unit tests: split group headers in each region, a group split start/end with no center leaves, nested group headers, a header spanning mixed regions, and leaf headers.
  • The column-pinning-split example uses header.getIsPinned() for its pin buttons, with an e2e test for the split "Name" group's buttons. The test fails against header.column.getIsPinned().
  • header.getIsPinned is listed in each framework's column pinning guide, and the Alpine and Ember pin-button snippets read it instead of header.column.getIsPinned().

The column-pinning-sticky example has no column groups, and #6472 already reworks it for grouped sticky headers, so it is left as is.

Ran locally: table-core unit tests (1341 passed), test:types, test:eslint and build; react-table build; react/column-pinning-split tsc, lint and e2e (7 passed); Prettier on the changed files.

  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added header.getIsPinned() to report the pinned region where a header is rendered, including group headers split across regions. Returns false when its leaf columns are unpinned or span mixed regions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Pin controls for split group headers now reflect the header’s rendered region, so the appropriate actions appear in each region.
  • Documentation
    • Updated column-pinning guides with the new API and its behavior.

…oss pinned regions

A group column split across pinned regions renders one header per region,
but header.column.getIsPinned() reports a single region for all of them, so
the group header on the end side read 'start'. header.getIsPinned() reads
the region shared by the header's own leaf columns (false when mixed).

The column-pinning-split example now uses it for its pin buttons.

Fixes TanStack#4906

Walkthrough

Headers now expose getIsPinned(), which reports a shared pinning position across their leaf columns or false when those columns are mixed or unpinned. Split-table examples use this API for pin-action checks.

Changes: Header Pinning State

Layer / File(s) Summary
Header pin-state API
packages/table-core/src/features/column-pinning/*, packages/table-core/src/types/Header.ts, packages/table-core/tests/unit/features/column-pinning/*, docs/framework/*/guide/column-pinning.md
Adds and registers header.getIsPinned(). The result reflects leaf-header pin states. Unit tests cover split, mixed, nested, and leaf headers. The framework guides document the API.
Split-table example adoption
examples/react/column-pinning-split/src/main.tsx, examples/react/column-pinning-split/tests/e2e/smoke.spec.ts, docs/framework/alpine/guide/column-pinning.md, docs/framework/ember/guide/column-pinning.md, .changeset/header-get-is-pinned.md
Updates pin-action checks in the split-table example and framework examples to use header.getIsPinned(). Adds an end-to-end test and a changeset entry.

Explanation

Issue #4906 requires each rendered part of a split group header to report its own pinning position. The PR adds header.getIsPinned(), derives the result from the header's rendered leaf headers, returns false for mixed or unpinned leaves, registers and types the API, and adds unit and end-to-end tests. The split example uses the new API for its pin controls.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within issue #4906. They include the header API, focused tests, the affected example, related end-to-end coverage, documentation for the public API, and a changeset. column.getIsPinned() remains unchanged. No unrelated change is established.

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 7 files.

- Line 211: Update the leaf-header selection in the code around
header.getLeafHeaders() to exclude headers with subheaders before comparing
their columns. This ensures the comparison uses only terminal headers and
returns the end group’s terminal column value in the split-header case.

Review comments at
@packages/table-core/tests/unit/features/column-pinning/columnPinningFeature.utils.test.ts:
- Line 329: Correct the leaf-header count assertion for
groupHeader.getLeafHeaders() in the relevant unit test: the existing API
includes groupHeader along with its three descendant headers, so expect 4, or
assert the terminal-header count instead.

getLeafHeaders() also returns the header itself and any intermediate group
headers. Their shared group column reports every region its leaves are
pinned to, so a split group header in the end region read false instead of
'end'. Skip headers that have sub-headers.

Add unit tests for a group split start/end with no center leaves and for
nested group headers, an e2e test for the column-pinning-split group pin
buttons, and header.getIsPinned to the column pinning guides.

Their pin-button snippets read header.column.getIsPinned(), which shows the
wrong buttons on a group header split across pinned regions.
