This example demonstrates how to control which columns are visible in your table. You can allow users to toggle columns on and off to focus on the most important data.

Overview

In this example, you will learn how to:

• Define columns with type safety using createColumnHelper
• Set initial visibility of columns
• Toggle the visibility of individual columns
• Track state changes when columns are shown or hidden

Example

Key Concepts

• Visibility Toggle: The visibleColumns state controls which columns are displayed.
• Interactive Controls: Buttons allow users to individually show or hide columns.
