I would like to have a set of checkboxes which they determine what column in the datatabe should be displayed (through call back).

```
dt.DataTable(id='table_of_record',
                    columns=[{'name';i};
                    df.columns])
```

I used [Display tables in Dash](https://community.plotly.com/t/display-tables-in-dash/4707/5) - so the question is answered over there.
