Support for external data sources? #84

Open chrisspen opened 6 years ago

How do you configure a widget to pull data from an external data source? In the readme, there's a brief mention of using an "API" but the docs don't elaborate on this, and the demo just uses auto-generated toy data. Does this project support pulling or pushing data into the app or is that out of scope?
