Columns menu

Prop showColumnsMenu — adapter chrome, default true.

Guide

When to use it

On by default — the toolbar menu that hosts the per-column controls.

How it works

Renders the Columns button and its menu, the home for show / hide (enableHiding), pin (enableColumnPinning), reorder (enableColumnOrdering), copy-column and edit-lock controls.

Gotchas

  • Turning it off hides those controls; the underlying behaviours still work via keyboard and the settings sheet.
  • It's chrome — same menu in both skins (Radix DropdownMenu for shadcn, MUI Menu for MUI).

Example source
import React from 'react'
import { BstTableMui } from '@bloomskill/table-mui'
import type { BstTableColumn } from '@bloomskill/table-engine'
import '@bloomskill/table-engine/styles.css'

type Row = { id: string; name: string; team: string; role: string; score: number }
const seed: Row[] = [
{ id: '1', name: 'Ada Lovelace', team: 'Platform', role: 'Engineer', score: 92 },
{ id: '2', name: 'Alan Turing', team: 'Research', role: 'Scientist', score: 88 },
{ id: '3', name: 'Grace Hopper', team: 'Platform', role: 'Engineer', score: 95 },
{ id: '4', name: 'Katherine J.', team: 'Research', role: 'Analyst', score: 90 },
{ id: '5', name: 'Edsger Dijkstra',team: 'Platform', role: 'Architect',score: 84 },
]
const columns: BstTableColumn<Row>[] = [
{ id: 'name', accessorKey: 'name', header: 'Name' },
{ id: 'team', accessorKey: 'team', header: 'Team' },
{ id: 'role', accessorKey: 'role', header: 'Role' },
{ id: 'score', accessorKey: 'score', header: 'Score', sortFn: 'basic' },

export default function App() {
return (
<BstTableMui data={seed} columns={columns} getRowId={(r) => r.id}
enableColumnPinning enableColumnOrdering showColumnsMenu />
)

Enable it

<BstTableMui
data={rows}
columns={columns}
enableHiding // chrome is a no-op without its behaviour flag
showColumnsMenu
/>

Swap BstTableMui for BstTableShadcn (and the CSS import) for the shadcn skin — same props.

Behavior & interactions

  • Requires enableHiding to be on — this flag is a no-op otherwise.
