Research References Table (tablecn)
Terrain Viewer's research references as one tablecn data table in client mode, the same data as the Research References Table, for a side-by-side comparison of the two table implementations
The same data as Research References Table, rendered with tablecn's data table (shadcn/ui on Base UI, TanStack Table v9) in its client mode, useDataTable({ mode: "client" }), for comparison. One table holds every section: Section and Group are faceted filters, the yes/no questions (opens in the app, free copy, elevation change, DOI, cites RVT, GLO-30 or WhiteboxTools) are Yes / No filters, Year is a range, and the search box looks through titles and authors. Column headers sort and hide; View picks the columns, including Data, Modes and the citation flags, which start hidden. Sort, filters and page live in the address bar, Show all replaces the pages with one, and Export CSV saves the rows shown.
