Is it possible to create Columns without Data?
I want to use empty columns where I can put actions relating to the row like "VIEW" and "DELETE". I also want to ensure the useReactTable() model captures these empty columns because I want to be able to change the visibility of these columns programmatically using state and onColumnVisibilityChange

That is possible. I just did something similar. You can render anything you want in each cell for a specific column. If you want a delete-button there. Just render it with the
cell: () => <DeleteButton /> or whateverforeign-sapphireOP•3y ago
Does this mean I need to create a empty field in my Data Json Object?

I had the wrong assumption that the data had to match the column definitions
