Row create partial default

[sdriffill-tm]

Background

I'm using Material React Table to create an editable grid with creating row functionality. I want to populate only a subset of the columns on my new blanks rows with a default value, in my case a column called online which holds a boolean, like so:

renderTopToolbarCustomActions={({ table }) => (
  <Button
    onClick={() =>
      table.setCreatingRow(
        createRow(table, { online: true }),
      )
    }
  >
    + Add Row
  </Button>
)}

Problem

I'm getting a type error on this line: createRow(table, { online: true }).

Argument of type '{ online: true; }' is not assignable to parameter of type <my specific MRT_RowData type>.
Type '{ online: true; }' is missing the following properties from type <my specific MRT_RowData type>: <the other properties>.ts(2345)

Whilst the second param to createRow is optional, if provided it must satisfy my specific MRT_RowData type for the table, so any props marked as required must be in the default data.

Solution

Can we wrap the type of this param in a Partial to let you provide default values for only a subset of columns? I'm getting no errors in the actual running instance of the component despite the TS warning so have had to add a // @ts-expect-error in the mean time.
