Description
`EuiBasicTable` is the core table component in EUI, supporting sorting, pagination, selection, actions, and responsive layouts. Highlighted as one of the most widely used EUI components.
- **File:** `components/basic_table/basic_table.tsx`
- **Class size:** 694 lines
- **State:** `initialSelectionRendered`, `selection`
- **Lifecycle:** `getDerivedStateFromProps`, `componentDidMount`, `componentDidUpdate`
**Migration notes:**
Large component with `getDerivedStateFromProps` for selection state sync. The derived state pattern needs careful conversion — likely requires `useEffect` with proper dependency tracking or controlled component refactor. High test coverage expected given its prominence.
**Acceptance criteria:**
- [ ] Convert to function component with hooks
- [ ] Carefully handle `getDerivedStateFromProps` → state sync pattern
- [ ] Maintain all sorting, pagination, selection, and action behaviors
- [ ] All existing tests pass
- [ ] Manual verification of table interactions (select all, sort, paginate)
- [ ] Carefully smoke-tested in Kibana
