Hide Columns on draw but have as options to show in ColVis

flowte

We are using Buttons 1.0.3 and ColVis with 1.10.10 datatables and would like to draw the table with columns hidden but available through the ColVis button. From the documentation I could not find any way to do this and I wondered if anyone know if/how this can be done?

eg hide column 3 on draw but show in the ColVis button list of available columns (inactive)

<table>
<tbody>
<th>Column 1</th>
<th>Column 2</th>
<th>Column 3</th>
</tbody>
</table>

<ul class="dt-button-collection dropdown-menu">
<li class="dt-button buttons-columnVisibility active" tabindex="0" aria-controls="project-list-table"><a>Column 1</a></li>
<li class="dt-button buttons-columnVisibility active" tabindex="0" aria-controls="project-list-table"><a>Column 2</a></li>
<li class="dt-button buttons-columnVisibility" tabindex="0" aria-controls="project-list-table"><a>Column 3</a></li>
</ul>

Thanks

You want the column hidden by default? Just use columns.visible to set the initial visibility state for a column.
