Display fields and columns conditionally

Display fields and columns conditionally

January 2021 in Editor

I'm able to control the display of editing buttons and inline editing by an if statement, eg

if (permission === 'admin') {
    $('#mydataTable').on( 'click', 'tbody td:not(.child)', function (e) {
        if ( $(this).hasClass( 'control' ) || $(this).hasClass('select-checkbox') ) {
            return;
        }
        editor.inline( this, {onBlur: 'submit'} );
            } );  };

But how can I conditionally display the fields in editor and columns in datatable?

For the table, you can call column().visible() - this will hide the column. For the Editor form, you can call field().disable().

This example from this thread should help, it's conditionally hiding an Editor field.

thanks Colin, table.column( n ).visible( false, false ); works
