Working with data sources (Windows Store apps using JavaScript and HTML)
The Windows Library for JavaScript provides several types of IListDataSource objects:
- You can use a List to create an IListDataSource from an array of data.
- You can use a StorageDataSource to access information about files and directories.
You can also create your own custom data source that connects to some other type of data provider, such as a web service or database. For instructions, see How to create a custom data source.
