In this article, we will see how to remove/hide columns while export data in datatables in laravel 8. When we are using jquery datatable for displaying data in datatable and exporting datatable information into PDF, Excel, or CSV we might exclude or hide some columns. So, we will give you a demo of how to remove/hide columns while exporting data in datatables in laravel 8 using jQuery.

    So, let's see, datatables export only visible columns, exclude columns from export in jquery datatables and remove columns when exporting data when using jquery.

    In this example the copy button will export column index 1 and all visible columns, the Excel button will export only the visible columns and the PDF button will export column indexes 1, 2, and 4 only and other datatable hide columns.

    Column visibility controls are also included so you can change the columns easily and see the effect of the export options.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#demo').DataTable( {
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [
            {
                extend: 'copyHtml5',
                exportOptions: {
                    columns: [ 1, ':visible' ]
                }
            },
            {
                extend: 'excelHtml5',
                exportOptions: {
                    columns: ':visible'
                }
            },
            {
                extend: 'pdfHtml5',
                exportOptions: {
                    columns: [ 1, 2, 4 ]
                }
            },
            'colvis'
        ]
    } );
} );
