DataTables visible columns

[alzmcr]

Hey - first of all thanks for kicking this off!

I'm actually playing with it, and I wonder if there is an option to hide a column in data table. I know you can using the visible option https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.visible but I can't get to make it work with pyxley.

I know this isn't the best place to post request for support, but I haven't found any where else to go!

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. You can actually hide columns using the initComplete keyword. You can pass it a javascript function to run after the table is initialized like in the DataTables example.

Something like

    init_func = (
        """
        var api = this.api();
        api.column(0).visible(false);
        """)

When you pass that to the DataTables constructor it sends it through to the React code as a string. The javascript then turns the string into a function and executes it after the table initializes.

Hope this helps.
