Name Type Default value Description
name undefined | string undefined The name of the variable holding the requested data as received as a property.
id undefined | string undefined The identifier of the visual element.
context undefined | string undefined The execution context.
columns string[] undefined The list of the columns needed by the element that emitted this action.
pageKey string undefined The unique identifier of the data that will be received from this action.
payload Record<string, unknown> undefined The payload (specific to the type of component ie table, chart...).
allData boolean false The flag indicating if all the data is requested.
library? string undefined The name of the extension library.
Returns
