How to pass props to row in react-table

I've been following https://blog.logrocket.com/complete-guide-building-smart-data-table-react/. To apply custom styling depending on cell value, I'm updating the column object like so:

return {
  Header: key,
  accessor: key,
  width: "150",
  sortType: "basic",
  Cell: ({cell: {value} }) => {
    if (value == "Error") {
      return <RedCell/>
    }
    ...
  }
}

Is it possible instead to apply custom styling to the row containing the cell? I guess a prop would have to be passed down to row, but am just not clear at all on how to do this.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

For anyone stumbling upon this issue, this has been answered by the author of the react-table library here — https://spectrum.chat/react-table/general/v7-row-getrowprops-how-to-pass-custom-props-to-the-row~ff772376-0696-49d6-b259-36ef4e558821

In your Table component, you pass on any prop (say, rowProps) of your choice for rows —

<Table
        columns={columns}
        data={data}
        rowProps={row => ({
          onClick: () => alert(JSON.stringify(row.values)),
          style: {
            cursor: "pointer"
          }
        })}
      />

Then to actually use this —

function Table({ columns, data, rowProps = () => ({}) }) {
  // Use the state and functions returned from useTable to build your UI
  const { getTableProps, headerGroups, rows, prepareRow } = useTable({
    columns,
    data
  });

  // Render the UI for your table
  return (
    <table {...getTableProps()}>
      <thead>
        {headerGroups.map(headerGroup => (
          <tr {...headerGroup.getHeaderGroupProps()}>
            {headerGroup.headers.map(column => (
              <th {...column.getHeaderProps()}>{column.render("Header")}</th>
            ))}
          </tr>
        ))}
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        {rows.map(
          (row, i) =>
            prepareRow(row) || (
              <tr {...row.getRowProps(rowProps(row))}>
                {row.cells.map(cell => {
                  return (
                    <td {...cell.getCellProps()}>{cell.render("Cell")}</td>
                  );
                })}
              </tr>
            )
        )}
      </tbody>
    </table>
  );

Currently you are applying styling to your columns definitions.

In order to apply styling to an entire Row. (eg. make the entire row red if value == "Error"), I would do it in your table UI.

In your UI you are going to be calling prepareRow(row) and then using the row to render the cells.

maybe with : row.cells.map

At this point you could do something different based on the content of a cell row.cells[0]

maybe something like this:

                  {(row.cells[0].value !== "Error" && row.cells.map(cell =>
                    {
                        return (
                            <TableCell {...cell.getCellProps({ className: cell.column.className })}>
                                {cell.render('Cell')}
                            </TableCell>
                        );
                    })) ||  <RedRow />}
