filterFn_between and filterFn_betweenInclusive treat null endpoints as an active bound, coercing them to 0 via Number(null). This incorrectly excludes values below zero when only a max is supplied with a null min, and excludes values above zero when only a min is supplied with a null max.

Root cause: compareBetween checks min !== '' && min !== undefined but null passes both conditions since null !== '' and null !== undefined are both true.

Inconsistency with the rest of the codebase: filterFn_inNumberRange and filterFn_inDateRange both resolve null as open-ended explicitly in their resolveFilterValue. The autoRemove for filterFn_between also treats null as falsy, signalling "null means nothing" — but the filter itself didn't follow through.

Fix: Add null to the hasMin guard and the max early-return in compareBetween. Two test cases added to the existing "treats blank endpoints as open-ended" block.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Faceted counts now combine equivalent array values, even when they come from separate array instances.
    • Range filters now treat null endpoints as open bounds for inclusive and exclusive comparisons.

…ueValues

Array cell values use reference equality in the Map, so two rows with
identical array contents (e.g. ['a','b']) are counted as distinct entries
instead of being aggregated. Serialize arrays with JSON.stringify before
using them as map keys so equal-content arrays get the same bucket.

Fixes TanStack#5405
Use an ArrayKeyMap subclass that prefixes serialised array keys with a
null byte so the string '["a","b"]' and the array ['a','b'] never
collide. Callers can now pass the original array value to .get() and
.has() and get the correct count back.
filterFn_between and filterFn_betweenInclusive used `min !== '' && min !==
undefined` to detect open-ended endpoints, but null passes both checks since
null !== '' and null !== undefined are both true. A null min is then coerced
to 0 via Number(null), incorrectly excluding values below zero.

Add null to the hasMin and max guards in compareBetween to match the
open-ended behavior already documented for undefined and ''.

Walkthrough

Faceted unique-value counts now normalize array keys by their JSON-serialized contents. The between and betweenInclusive filters now treat null endpoints as open bounds.

Changes: Faceted array values

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize array keys in faceted counts
packages/table-core/src/features/column-faceting/createFacetedUniqueValues.ts, packages/table-core/tests/unit/features/column-faceting/columnFacetingFeature.test.ts
Faceted counts use ArrayKeyMap, which normalizes array keys to null-byte-prefixed JSON strings. Tests verify that arrays with matching contents share a count.

Open range endpoints

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle null range endpoints
packages/table-core/src/features/column-filtering/filterFns.ts, packages/table-core/tests/unit/fns/filterFns.test.ts
The between and betweenInclusive filters treat null minimum and maximum values as open bounds. Tests cover both endpoints.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: kevinvandy

Merge Risk: High · up to 4a7d0

Faceted unique-value results for array-valued columns now return internal encoded strings as keys, so filter option lists built from them will show wrong values. Arrays containing BigInt or cyclic values can also break facet calculation. The added faceting test fails as written. These issues should be fixed before merging. The null range-endpoint change is low risk.

Explanation

The title names the actual change: null endpoints in filterFn_between are treated as open-ended. It matches the changeset, which adds null handling to compareBetween and adds tests for it. It is specific and under 80 characters, so it meets the title guidelines.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main structure. It explains the change and its motivation, with a root cause, a consistency rationale, and the fix. It does not include the Checklist or Release Impact sections, and it does not say whether a changeset was generated or whether tests were run locally. These are non-critical for this check, so the description is mostly complete.

Compare numeric equality at the exclusive upper bound.

For a row value of '0' and a filter of [null, 0], the new open-minimum path returns true. Strict equality fails for '0' and 0, although compareGreaterThan treats both as numeric zero. The exclusive filter should exclude this boundary value. Use consistent numeric equality in the comparison.

Add cases that distinguish a null minimum from zero.

If age is numeric, the neighboring assertions establish that it is greater than 29. The old null-minimum comparison against zero therefore also passes these new assertions. Add a negative row value with a negative maximum for each filter so the tests fail when null is treated as zero.

Do not merge arrays with different element values.

Based on learnings, [undefined] and [null] both serialize as [null]. This implementation therefore combines their counts into one facet, although their contents differ. The same problem affects [NaN] and [null]. Use a normalization strategy that preserves element types and values. (262.ecma-international.org)

Handle arrays that JSON cannot serialize.

If an accessor returns [1n] or a cyclic array, JSON.stringify throws TypeError. The exception escapes the initial facetedUniqueValues.get(value) call and aborts the complete facet calculation. These values worked as ordinary Map keys before this change. Provide a non-throwing key strategy or an identity-based fallback for unsupported values. (262.ecma-international.org)

Preserve array values in the returned Map's keys.

super.set stores '\0["a","b"]', so inherited keys(), entries(), and iteration expose that string instead of ['a', 'b']. The consumer in examples/preact/filters-faceted/src/main.tsx, Line 249–257, builds filter options directly from .keys(). It therefore receives internal encodings instead of cell values. Keep the normalization index separate from the public Map keys. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Correct the failing Map assertion.

The actual keys contain '\0', but the expected keys do not. The assertion therefore cannot match the implementation. Vitest 4.1.11 also rejects these iterable objects because ArrayKeyMap and Map have different constructors. After fixing the public-key contract, compare normalized entries and assert array lookup counts separately. Do not make the test depend on internal encoded keys. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
