# With the DataTables ColVis

The `angular-datatables` also provides an API in order to make the plugin `ColVis` work with datatables.

You need to add the file `angular-datatables.colvis.min.js` to your HTML file.

You also need to add the dependency `datatables.colvis` to your Angular app.

See the API for the complete list of methods of the helper.
