How to apply condition or function to "visible" property of column?

viksnanu

I want to hide a column on first load of page or always on reload too according to a particular condition. Can we do this as we can do with mrender or render property of a columns. Please suggest and help.

Hi @viksnanu ,

You can hide columns with column().visible() (or multiple columns with columns().visible()). You can call this in one of the callback functions, such as initComplete or xhr,

Cheers,

I had put code in initcomplete function but it works only once as after hiding once and on changing condition it doesn't revert it back

initComplete only runs once. Did you try the xhr event Colin suggested? It will run each time there is an ajax response.
