Cannot be used in themes.

This option accepts one of the following.

Array of objects
A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.
URL
The URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.
DataSource or its configuration object
A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

NOTE

Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

Using the size object, you can hide the widget. For this purpose, simply assign 0 to both the height and width of the widget.

NOTE

The size configuration object reserves space for the main widget elements, while displaying a tooltip may require extra space. To reserve the area around the widget for the tooltip, you can apply a margin to the widget's container.
