+## Table rendering

+Table component only works in conjunction with the applyFieldOverrides function from the @grafana/data package otherwise data will not render.

+```javascript

 ## Cell rendering
 
 Cell rendering is controlled by table specific field config in the DataFrame passed as `data` prop. Each field can set its `field.config.custom` to be type `TableFieldOptions`. `TableFieldOptions` contain generic options to control some aspects of the cell and column rendering. They also contain `cellOptions` property which can be further used to control type of cell renderer that will be used. `cellOptions` subtypes:
