[Feature Request]: conditional deselected()

[markebjones]

Overview

I would like to be able to conditionally determine if the column should be deselected, or not, similarly to how I can conditionally determine if the column should be hidden, or not.

Great repo, obviously, thanks so much!

Detailed explanation

My suggestion is to either:

1. adapt deselected() to support an optional boolean argument that would deselect if true, with a default of true
2. introduce deselectIf() with a mandatory boolean argument that would deselect if true

Notes

No response

Good suggestion.

I'm in the process of actually updating the Column behaviours, so will see if this can be added in at the same time.

[lrljoe]

So, introducing
selectedIf()
and
deselectedIf()

Where you use non-table properties to determine whether or not to select the column, is straight forward.

Making it more complex:
You can't use the Row, as that'll change with each row.
There's no point in passing the Column instance

So are you happy with just a straight forward callback, e.g.

            Column::make('Something', 'description')
              ->deselectedIf(fn() => Auth::user()->can('Do-Something'))
              ->sortable(),

and

            Column::make('Something Else', 'name')
              ->selectedIf(fn() => 1 > 2)
              ->sortable(),

I can't see any use case for any other parameter other than a generic callback

It looks great. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks so much!

No problem, I'll need to write docs and tests, but should be done by the end of the week

[lrljoe]

Just linking in the PR, I'll need to double check it all before I can do a release, but it's all on-track as you can see!

[lrljoe]

@markebjones - should be present now as of v3.4.6

[markebjones]

Great. Thank you. I will test it over the weekend!

[markebjones]

Seems to work perfectly. Thank you. :)
