ui-grid has a flag for enableGridMenu: true which provides a dropdown menu to show/hide columns. Here is an example: http://ui-grid.info/docs/#/tutorial/304_grid_menu

Does smart-table offer any OOTB show/hide feature or already available extension I'm missing? I know this can be done brute force and I found this gist but it handles the show/hide at the column level and not a table wide "enableGridMenu" simplistic enablement. https://gist.github.com/srph/2443ece955799fee1d9f

Hi My approach is more object oriented than brute force, the markup is built entirely with an array of objects called "columns"

this solution was inspired by the column drag n drop example found here http://lorenzofox3.github.io/smart-table-website/#examples-section

First I define an array of "columns", you can create as many of these objects as you want

   {
        'name': 'Nice Name',
        'value': 'name',
        'class': '',
        'data': 'row.name',
        'ngShow': true,
   }

Now that I have my columns I can do something like this in my markup for the table 

<tr ng-repeat="row in tableRows">
    <td ng-repeat="col in columns" ng-class="{{col.ngClass}}" ng-style="{{col.ngStyle}}" ng-show="col.ngShow">
       <div ng-bind="{{col.data}}"></div>
    </td>
</tr>

Then I create a separate markup for the column toggle switches

<p ng-repeat="col in columns"> <a ng-click="col.ngShow = !col.ngShow">{{col.name}}</a> </p>
