cols_unhide() functionLet’s use a small portion of the countrypops dataset to create a gt table. We’ll hide the country_code_2 and country_code_3 columns with cols_hide().
tab_1 <-
countrypops |>
dplyr::filter(
country_name == "Singapore",
year %in% 2017:2021
) |>
gt() |>
cols_hide(columns = c(country_code_2, country_code_3))
tab_1| country_name | year | population |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore | 2017 | 5612253 |
| Singapore | 2018 | 5638676 |
| Singapore | 2019 | 5703569 |
| Singapore | 2020 | 5685807 |
| Singapore | 2021 | 5453566 |
If the tab_1 object is provided without the code or source data to regenerate it, and, the user wants to reveal otherwise hidden columns then cols_unhide() becomes useful.
