Datasource enables you to update your content dynamically. Learn more about Datasource here.

Create a Datasource

  • Click Datasources on the left panel.

  • Click Create.

  • Enter a Name.

  • Select the appropriate Refresh period.

  • Paste the api endpoint url if you are going to use an external source.

Important Note: You can use one and only static url as a source. Parametric entries or url lists will be ignored. Api should connect to the same url every time.

  • Click Save.

  • Click on the datasource name.

  • Click the Editor tab.

  • Select Text option on editor area.

  • Copy the sample JSON below for a quick start. You can edit the prices as you want.

 "prices": [
   {
     "name": "Toast",
     "data": "$6.90"
   },
   {
     "name": "Ice cream",
     "data": "$2.20"
   },
   {
     "name": "Salad",
     "data": "$4.90"
   },
   {
     "name": "Steak burger",
     "data": "$13.90"
   },
   {
     "name": "Ice tea",
     "data": "$3.90"
   },
   {
     "name": "Double cheese menu",
     "data": "$10.90"
   },
   {
     "name": "chicken bacon burger",
     "data": "$6.90"
   }
 ]
}
