Remove # Column In Gridview

I’m sure this is beautiful if you are creating a Top 40 list, however in my opinion in most cases it is both useless and ugly.

How to remove this column?

Simple. Remove:




['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],



Yes if you do not want a grid column to be displayed … its simple - DO NOT add it to the columns array in the GridView widget.

If you do not want SerialColumn with # do not include this:




['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn']



If you do not want ActionColumn, do not include this:




['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn']



IMHO… as to who requires what column, is a use case best left to developers.
