Details

The data parameter can have the following types:

  • data promise (object),
  • object of another data component,
  • inline data:
    • array
    • string

If you want to parse data in addition to the existing dataset, specify position of parsing, namely the index from which you insert new data:

$$("datatable").parse({
    // the number of records will be equal to the last index plus 1
    pos: $$("datatable").count(),
    data:dataset
});
