# DataSource

The DataSource class represents a data source within the editor. It manages a collection of data records and provides methods to interact with them. The DataSource can be extended with transformers to modify records during add, read, and delete operations.

# DataSource API

# Example of Usage

const dataSource = new DataSource({
  records: [
    { id: 'id1', name: 'value1' },

dataSource.addRecord({ id: 'id3', name: 'value3' });
