hiddenColumns plugin

Getting help Issues
1

Hi,

I am using handsontable on large datasets (50k rows and more) and I want to hide different columns based on user interaction.

  • I tried the Plugin ‘hiddenColumns’ but that didn’t work. (Is there an issue with that plug in at the moment?)
  • The updateSettings does work, but the browser is frozen for a long time.

I am using angular js and the handsontable pro without any wrapper.

Thanks
Nils

Hi @nils.mohr

Here is a list of current hiding issues. Some of them, however, are for rows.
The hiding-column demo on our website for the latest version hides the columns https://docs.handsontable.com/pro/5.0.0/demo-hiding-columns.html so it might be a bug in the implementation. Can you share the code?

Hi @aleksandra_budnik

thanks for the fast response. I had another idea what my problem might be and if it failed I will try to build a fiddle that I can share.

Is the freezing of the browser an expected behavior when I hide/show columns on large tables? Or is that just because I use the updateSettings option instead of the plug in?

Cheers,
Nils

sounds more like a lack in performance but I’d need to test it to be sure.

that would be appreciated.

I also made a fiddle and I can’t get it to work.

Thanks for your help.

Here’s a demo https://jsfiddle.net/dwvfb3L0/

line 12 - you need to enable a plugin first to use it.

Hi,

thanks! its working now.

I am fairly new to handsontable and the documenation. But I didnt know that I had to enable plugins like that. Can you add that somehow to your documentation? It wasn’t very clear for me that I need to do that.

Cheers

Thank you for the hint @nils.mohr

I’ll ask my colleagues who are working on a new documentation version to include this information.
