R Reactable hide columns by default

I would like to display a dataframe consisting on many columns in a reactable. Since only very few columns are interesting the default setting should be to hide the columns. When I do this it is however impossible to see any columns since none are displayed at all. What is the correct way to do this?

library(reactable)
reactable(mtcars,
          defaultColDef = colDef(show = F),
          columns = list(
            mpg = colDef(show =T)
          ))

In this case no columns are displayed despite mpg being set to TRUE.

It seems what you want to do is use defaultColDef to "hide" all columns NOT explicitly assigned for display. This can be done by assigning defaultColDef last:

library(reactable)
reactable(mtcars,
      columns = list(
        mpg = colDef(show =T)),
      defaultColDef = colDef(show = F)
      )

If you only want to display mpg column, you can simply subset this column in reactable:

reactable(mtcars[0:1],
          defaultColDef = colDef(show = T))
