The CLI writes source-owned components beneath the destination configured in
`tuil.config.ts`; the default import below assumes `src/components/tuil`.

## Components and subcomponents [#components-and-subcomponents]

| API                                                         | Signature            | Description                |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- |
| [`Table`](/tuil/docs/reference/components/tables/table)          | `function Table`     | Public function Table.     |
| [`DataTable`](/tuil/docs/reference/components/tables/data-table) | `function DataTable` | Public function DataTable. |

## Interaction [#interaction]

Arrow keys navigate cells or rows; Space toggles selection; Enter activates; configured keys sort columns.

## API and events [#api-and-events]

`onActivate`, `onSelectionChange`, `onToggleSelection`, and `onSortColumn` expose table intent.

Every interactive component publishes semantic roles, labels, state, and focus
identity through the renderer's `SemanticRegistry`. Callback failures flow to
the owning application's error boundary.

  S0[&#x22;props and runtime state&#x22;]
  S1[&#x22;semantic registration&#x22;]
  S2[&#x22;focus and input routing&#x22;]
  S3[&#x22;callback or state update&#x22;]
  S4[&#x22;rerender&#x22;]
  S0 --> S1
  S1 --> S2
  S2 --> S3
  S3 --> S4"
/>

## Example [#example]

```tsx
import type { ComponentProps } from "react";
import { Table } from "@/components/tuil/data-display/complex-data";

export function Example(props: ComponentProps<typeof Table>) {
  return <Table {...props} />;
}
```

Registry-installed components are source-owned: customize the generated file in
your application, and use the package reference for the shared runtime contracts.
