Remove error from row.getValue when column is not found or create new function

[TommysG]

Hello. In my custom table i have some quick filters in the table's toolbar. To show them i have something like this:

table.getColumn('status') && <TableStatusFilter/>

The problem in this is that in my console, i receiver this error when column doesn't exist.
" [Table] Column with id 'status' does not exist."

How about removing the error or just creating a new function to check if column exists without showing the error. It's very irritating even if a dev mode seeing all these errors.

Hello Tommy,

try like this

table.getAllColumns().find(x => x.id === 'status') && <TableStatusFilter/>

I guess you can do this? Why have an API that let's you get a column by ID and by its definition returns Column<TData> | undefined but has a side effect of logging an error?

It is quite odd from an API perspective to return an expected value and then side effect of logging an error as if something was broken.

I opened #5964 in the hopes of removing the error log, since the type return indicates that the column returned can be undefined.
