Problem

I have two DataTables — one is five columns and the other is four columns — and I'm looking for a way to hide columns at specific screen widths.

What I've tried

When I resize the browser, both tables automatically appear to drop down to a two-column chart at 480 pixels in width, but I need additional breakpoints in-between where I'm dropping additional columns since they don't fit inside viewport.

Adding a class of responsive to the table as seen in this example
I've tried using column control helper classes to remove columns at certain breakpoints, but even adding the class none did not hide a column
Adding classes to the <th> in the thead to take advantage of their responsive breakpoints
I've include responsive: true in my DataTables options

scripts.js

$('#test-scores').dataTable({
        initComplete: function () {
            this.api().columns([0,1,2]).every( function () {
                var column = this;
                var colIdx = column.index();
                // adjust label for dropdown according to index
                // TODO - colIdx is producing 0
                if (colIdx === 0) {
                    var label = 'districts';
                }
                else if (colIdx === 1) {
                    var label = 'schools';
                }
                else {
                    var label = 'subjects';
                }

                var select = $('.select--map-' + label)

If your table is overflowing within a flexbox but not elsewhere you may have encountered a display issue because of it If that's the case, adding overflow: hidden;flex-shrink:1; to the closest flex element will solve the issue – Tofandel Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 11:28

Sorted by: Reset to default 4

I am not sure I understand the logic above, but perhaps you overplicate the problem? I would look at column.visible() and respond to the onresize event. Here is a dead simple example :

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
  autoWidth: false //set to false, so dataTables not ruin the idea
})

create a onresize handler, trigger immediately so columns is automatically hidden on small devices :

window.onresize = function() {
  var w = this.innerWidth;
  table.column(5).visible( w > 700);
  table.column(4).visible( w > 600);
  table.column(3).visible( w > 500);
  table.column(2).visible( w > 400);
  table.column(1).visible( w > 300);  
}
//trigger upon pageload
$(window).trigger('resize');

demo -> http://jsfiddle/4xL6d5xa/

Try resize the right bottom pane.

var table;
window.onresize = function() {
  if (!table) return;
  var w = this.innerWidth;
  table.api().column(5).visible( w > 700);
  ...
}
table = $('#test-scores').dataTable({
  ...
  initComplete: function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
      $(window).trigger('resize');
    })
  }
});

Since you are already using the Responsive extension of DataTable, you can use the responsivePriority option to obtain the desired behavior, it will automatically calculate what columns should be hidden based on the space available for the table and the defined priority

Note: the priority is reversed, meaning a higher priority column will be hidden before a lower priority

$('#test-scores').dataTable({
  //...
  responsive: true,
  columns: [
    { data: "district", responsivePriority: 1 },
    { data: "school", responsivePriority: 2 },
    { data: "subject", responsivePriority: 3 },
    { data: "rate", responsivePriority: 4 },
    { data: "test_takers", responsivePriority: 5 },
  ],
  //...
});

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
  responsive: true
});
