DevExtreme Angular - ArrayStore API

The ArrayStore is a store that provides an interface for loading and editing an in-memory array and handling related events.

var states = [
    { id: 1, state: "Alabama", capital: "Montgomery" },

    // ...
];

var store = new DevExpress.data.ArrayStore({
    key: "id",
    data: states,
    // Other ArrayStore options go here
});

// ===== or a simplified version =====
var store = new DevExpress.data.ArrayStore(states);

// ===== or inside the DataSource =====
var dataSource = new DevExpress.data.DataSource({
    store: {

        key: "id",
        data: states,
