Hiding Table Column Labels

Sometimes I use an imageColumn of viewColumn as the leftmost column in a table. For this column I don't want a label. I noticed when setting a label with an empty string such as ->label('') the label is not shown however this automatically shows the column toggle menu (top right of table), which seems like an unintended side effect or maybe even a bug. I can properly hide a label with:

ViewColumn::make('buyer_color')
    ->label(new HtmlString('&nbsp;'))

ViewColumn::make('buyer_color')
    ->label(new HtmlString('&nbsp;'))

But that seems strange. Anyone know if filament has a better way of hiding a table column label without showing the toggle menu button?

Filament doesn't show a toggle button by default I guess that you have set all columns to be toggleable by default in a service provider somewhere if that's the case, then just use ->toggleable(false) for your specific column

I don't have have toggleable() on in a service provider. It is strange. If I go to any table and make any table column element have ->label('') the toggle columns menu button appears.

I don't think that should be the case. Can you reproduce this on a fresh install?

Hi Dennis, Just did a fresh install, added one user, then created resource for Users; nothing else. That toggle shows up when using empty string as label. (perhaps a bug?)

#UserResource

namespace App\Filament\Resources\Users\Tables;

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

class UsersTable
{
    public static function configure(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                TextColumn::make('name')
                    ->label('')
                    ->searchable(),
                TextColumn::make('email')
                    ->label('Email address')
                    ->searchable(),
                TextColumn::make('email_verified_at')
                    ->dateTime()
                    ->sortable(),
                TextColumn::make('created_at')
                    ->dateTime()
                    ->sortable(),
                TextColumn::make('updated_at')
                    ->dateTime()
                    ->sortable(),
            ]);
    }
}

#UserResource

namespace App\Filament\Resources\Users\Tables;

use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;
use Filament\Tables\Table;

class UsersTable
{
    public static function configure(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                TextColumn::make('name')
                    ->label('')
                    ->searchable(),
                TextColumn::make('email')
                    ->label('Email address')
                    ->searchable(),
                TextColumn::make('email_verified_at')
                    ->dateTime()
                    ->sortable(),
                TextColumn::make('created_at')
                    ->dateTime()
                    ->sortable(),
                TextColumn::make('updated_at')
                    ->dateTime()
                    ->sortable(),
            ]);
    }
}

FYI: I went to some older version 3 apps and this does not appear to happen. It seems v4 specific.

Dennis Koch•3w ago

Interesting. Does it only show with empty labels? Or do all columns show up? Can you open a bug report on GitHub, please?

Kenneth Sese•3w ago

@bionary I was able to reproduce this and know where the issue is coming from. I have some other column manager issues to take care of so I'll add this to the list. In the meantime if you need a quick solution you can add ->columnManager(false) to your table and it will force hide the column manager.
