React Table default pagination page

Question

I'm new to react-table. Is it possible to set default page in the pagination mode. Is there a certain prop to handle this? F.ex. after my component mounts I'd like to have my table opened on 5th page. Thank you!

You probably already discovered this, but to expand on hariharan's answer, you can use the state of a component to control a lot of the props of the table. For the page, you can tell the component that the page is found in the state,

<ReactTable
    ...otherProps
    page={this.state.page}
  />

And when you initialize your state, however you initialize it, have page equal to 5. For example,

class MyClassThatHasReactTableInIt extends Component {
  constructor (props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      page: 5
  }
... // etc code etc

If you do this, you also need to handle the page changing yourself though. luckily, react-table makes this very easy, you can write your custom pageChange handler:

    <ReactTable
    ...otherProps
    page={this.state.page}
    onPageChange={page => this.setState({page})}
  />
