Using Custom Hooks for TanStack Ranger State Management

Explain how to create and use custom hooks for managing the state of TanStack Ranger components in a more modular and reusable way.
import { useState } from 'react';
import { useRanger } from 'tanstack-table-core';

// Custom hook for managing Ranger state
function useRangerState(initialState) {
  const [rangerState, setRangerState] = useState(initialState);

  // Function to update state based on Ranger's changes
  const onUpdate = (newState) => {
    setRangerState(newState);
  };

  // Hooking into TanStack Ranger with our state and update function
  const ranger = useRanger({
    state: rangerState,
    onStateChange: onUpdate,
  });

  return { ranger, rangerState };
}
This code defines a custom React hook `useRangerState` for encapsulating the state management logic of TanStack Ranger components. It uses React's `useState` to maintain the internal state and provides an `onUpdate` function to handle state changes. The state and updater are then integrated with the `useRanger` hook provided by TanStack Table Core, allowing for a modular and reusable way to manage Ranger state. This approach simplifies handling Ranger component state across different components.
