🚀 Features
----------

[](#-features)

- **User-Specific Column Visibility**: Saves each user's column visibility preferences.
- **Automatic Restoration**: Automatically restores column settings upon each visit to the table.
- **Blade Component**: Dynamically inject column visibility preferences via a Blade component.
- **Global Usage**: Works across any table in your Laravel project.
- **Easy Integration**: Simple to install, configure, and customize.
- **Compatibility**: Built for Laravel 9, 10, and 11.

---

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

1. **Install the package via Composer**:

    ```
    composer require mohasin-dev/column-visibility
    ```
2. **Then publish assets and migrate the database**:

    ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public
    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=views
    php artisan migrate
    ```

### 🧩 Usage

[](#-usage)

Step 1: Include Blade Component in View

```

// table-key: Unique string to identify your table (e.g. users, orders)
// table-id: ID of your HTML table ()

```

Step 2: Use JS Helper in Your DataTable Init

```
let table = $('#dataTable').DataTable({
  columnDefs: buildColumnDefs([0, 4, 5, 6, 9]), // param is optional: text-center targets
  ...
});

```

### 🧠 How It Works

[](#-how-it-works)

- Saves column preferences (hidden columns) in a column\_preferences table.
- Automatically injects hidden columns for the user via a Blade component.
- The JS helper buildColumnDefs() builds the correct columnDefs dynamically.
