Output widget : hide columns

[Tedd22]

When exporting a csv file with the output widget, I'd like to hide some columns of my grid (typically a column with a checkbox for selecting rows). Is it possible ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Tedd22!

There isn't an option to ignore certain columns, but the widget does ignore hidden cells. So for now, you'll need to hide that column before triggering the output widget.

I do think an option to select columns to ignore would be a better method, so I'll work on including that in the next update.

Thanks Mottie ! For me, a header option option like "headers: { 0: { export: false }}" would be perfect.

I actually just ended up adding a widget option:

output_ignoreColumns: [] // columns to ignore [0, 1,... ] (zero-based index)

This update is available in the working branch.

This option is now available as part of v2.17.0.
