Hidden columns/Basic initialisation (Datatables + Laravel 2022)

Hidden columns :

The column that is hidden is still part of the table and can be made visible through the api column().visible() API method at a future time if you wish to have columns which can be shown and hidden.

Furthermore, as the hidden data is still part of the table, it can still, optionally, be filtered upon allowing the user access to that data (for example 'tag' information for a row entry might used).

In the table below both the office and age version columns have been hidden, the former is not searchable, the latter is.
