Hide Columns by Default

You can easily hide columns by default by setting the columnVisibility state or initialState to hide the desired columns by id.

const table = useMantineReactTable({
  columns,
  data,
  initialState: {
    columnVisibility: {
      firstName: false, //hide firstName column by default
      'mrt-row-expand': false, //hide row expand column by default
    },
  },
});

Disable Column Hiding

If you do not want this feature to be enabled at all, you can disable it by setting the enableHiding prop to false.

const table = useMantineReactTable({
  columns,
  data,
  enableHiding: false,
});

Alternatively, you can disable hiding specific columns by setting the enableHiding column option to false per column.

If you want to hide certain columns by default, you can specify an column visibility in the initialState.columnVisibility prop. This can also be useful for making the column hiding state persistent.

Enable Column Hiding on Display Columns

By default, column hiding is only enabled on data columns. Display columns, such as mrt-row-numbers, mrt-row-select, etc., do not have column hiding enabled, and their toggle will be disabled. You can turn that back on by setting the enableHiding option to true in the displayColumnsOptions prop.

const table = useMantineReactTable({
  columns,
  data,
  displayColumnDefOptions: {
    'mrt-row-numbers': {
      enableHiding: true, //now row numbers are hidable too
    },
  },
});

See the Display Columns Feature Guide for a more in depth explanation of the displayColumnsOptions prop.
