Column Selection

Column select is on by default. All columns are selected by default and saved in the users session.

#Excluding from Column Select

If you don't want a column to be able to be turned off from the column select box, you may exclude it:

1Column::make('Address', 'address.address')
2    ->excludeFromColumnSelect(),

#Deselected by default

If you would like a column to be included in the column select but deselected by default, you can specify:

1Column::make('Address', 'address.address')
2    ->deselected(),

4    $this->setRememberColumnSelectionDisabled();

#setDataTableFingerprint

In order to idenfify each table and prevent conflicts on column selection, each table is given a unique fingerprint. This fingerprint is generated using the static::class name of the component. If you are reusing the same component in different parts of your application, you may need to set your own custom fingerprint.

1public function configure(): void
2{
3    // Default fingerprint is output of protected method dataTableFingerprint()
4    // Below will prepend the current route name
5    $this->setDataTableFingerprint(route()->getName() . '-' . $this->dataTableFingerprint());
6}

#Events

#ColumnsSelected

If using column selection, an event is triggered when a user is changing selection. This can for example be used to store the selected columns in database for the user. When the user is accessing same page with the table, read som database and set the session key to initialize selected columns.

#Here is an example

 1use Rappasoft\LaravelLivewireTables\Events\ColumnsSelected;

 3class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
 4{
 5    /**
 6     * The event listener mappings for the application.

10    protected $listen = [
11        ColumnsSelected::class => [
12            DataTableColumnsSelectedListener::class
