cols_unhide() functionUse countrypops to create a gt table. Hide the country_code_2 and country_code_3 columns with cols_hide().
tab_1 <-
countrypops |>
dplyr::filter(country_name == "Mongolia") |>
tail(5) |>
gt() |>
cols_hide(columns = c(country_code_2, country_code_3))
tab_1| country_name | year | population |
|---|---|---|
| Mongolia | 2017 | 3096030 |
| Mongolia | 2018 | 3163991 |
| Mongolia | 2019 | 3232430 |
| Mongolia | 2020 | 3294335 |
| Mongolia | 2021 | 3347782 |
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 the cols_unhide() function becomes useful.
