hiddenByColumnsButton should hide in the table but show in the columnsButton selector about core HOT 6 CLOSED

I'll work on this as time permits. It's functional so this is a low priority issue. This project needs a detailed list of props like the one at:
https://material-table.com/#/docs/all-props

That's comprehensive but the prop definitions could be improved.

from core.

Here's how those props work:

hidden: When set, the column does not show in either the table or the columnsButton selector.
hiddenByColumnsButton: This allows the column to show in the columnsButton selector, but it must be set in conjunction with the hidden prop. This has no effect if set by itself.

This is not documented well and isn't intuitive. I propose that we change the behavior so that hiddenByColumnsButton set by itself hides it in the table but shows it in the columnsButton selector. hidden would remain the same and force the column to be removed everywhere (table and columnsButton selector).

Example of how it must be used today:

  const allColumns = [
    {
      title: "My Column",
      hidden: true,
      hiddenByColumnsButton: true,
    },

Let me know how I can help!

I created a PR to address this. See #24 for more details.

I suggest that we add the list of props to the main Readme. It's a hassle hunting for them on separate documentation pages. That will also free up the demo site to focus on examples.

@peacechen I agree. We need a better way to keep track of all props.
