can I use a plain array with datatable

Webix JS
#1

Hello
Newbie here. Help will be appreciated.
I have an array of strings being returned as json from a url: [‘a’,‘b’,‘c’,‘d’]
How do I use these in a one column datatable? The datatable wants an array of objects : [{item:‘a’},{item:‘b’},{item:c},{item:‘d’}]

webix.ui({
    container: 'url-table-div',
    autoheight: true,
    autowidth: true,
    view: 'datatable',
    url: '/urls',
    columns:[
        {id:'item', header:'URL', adjust:'data', sort:'string'}
    ]

});
This works but I want to pass straight array to the datatable instead of array of objects.
Thanks

Hello,

Plain js array can be used with the datatable provided that you state “jsarray” datatype.

The elements of such array are referred to as “data0”, “data1”, etc. in the columns configuration.

Please, check the following sample from the docs: http://docs.webix.com/samples/15_datatable/01_loading/01_inline_data.html. (the last grid there)
