Configurable Index Columns

[Paul-Bob]

Allow users to configure the visibility of columns in the index panel. Users should be able to choose which columns are displayed or hidden according to their preferences.

There should be a menu with checkboxes for each column, and only the checked columns should be rendered.

By @adrianthedev in #2165 :

Have a place where the user can show/hide columns.

This setting would be saved somewhere on the app. The DB or local storage (we need to research this).

Example

For this resource config, the end-user should be able to hide the owner field if they want to.

  field :name, as: :text
  field :description, as: :text
  field :owner, as: :belongs_to

Should the configuration for each user be stored in localstorage on the browser?

also, I’m wondering if it would be cool to have fields that would ‘default_visible: false’ so it could be in the list but not on by default. Alternatively we could allow ‘visible: :optional’ so that the existing visible field could carry that configuration.

Thank you for the feedback @rickychilcott!

Should the configuration for each user be stored in localstorage on the browser?

It's a possibility. I can think of 3 storage solutions: cookies, localstorage or DB.

Cookies or local storage has the advantage of being less intrusive on the app.

DB has the advantage of being more persistent.

Maybe the list should only include fields with configurable: true
