Make columns conditional about reactive-table HOT 4 CLOSED

You can use fn to arbitrarily combine multiple fields in a column.

So you could make a field like this:

{ key: 'invoice', label: 'Invoice', fn: function (value, record) {
    if (record.invoices && record.invoices.customer) {
        return record.invoices.customer;
    } else {
        return record.invoice;
    }
}}

That will use invoices.customer in the column if it exists, and invoice if not. Is that what you're trying to do?

Note you do have to specify a key which is used for the first argument to the function, even if you don't want to use it in the function (that's issue #26).

More like the ability to leave a column out entirely.

So, the render does this. Might not be possible.

Date Price Customer Invoice Id
Date Price Invoice Id

Sorry, that's not possible right now. It's an interesting idea though.

I have done it outside of this package by iterating over documents and just outputting html, checking for existence of field before rendering the column and sometimes optionally changing the table header if the document has different fields than the last row.

What gets tricky is colspans so the table doesn't look janky!

The feature fits with the inherent concept of mongo documents not always having the same fields.

I will close this for now.
