Hide a specific list from 'View All Site Content' using JSOM/CSOM?

Question

I see you can make a list hidden by using SharePoint Designer (http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2013/06/how-to-hide-list-or-library-in-sharepoint.html) which I am not interested in.

It is okay if the list is available via the URL.

Answer 1

Try this

var list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(listTitle);
list.Hidden = true;
list.Update();
ctx.ExecuteQuery(); 

Source: Hide document library using CSOM

Note that in the source they use BreakRoleInheritance to prevent users from accessing the list.

Answer 2

Thanks for everybody's responses. Close to jpussacq's question I was able to get it working by using the lists hidden attribute by using the set_hidden(true) in the following way:

//JSOM example
 ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(hideListItem, "sp.js");

  function hideListItem(){ 
  var ctx = new SP.ClientContext().get_current();

  var thisList  = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('My List');

  thisList.set_hidden(true);
  //must be updated before loading
  thisList.update();

  ctx.load(thisList);

  ctx.executeQueryAsync(function(){



  });

}
