Summary
In this chapter, I focused on creating custom data sources that you can use with the controls in the WinJS library. You learned how to derive a new data source from the base VirtualizedDataSource class.
I discussed three custom data sources. First, I created a file data source which enables you to store and retrieve data from your computer’s file system. Next, I created a web service data source that enables you to interact with a remote web service. Finally, I discussed how you can create a data source that works with IndexedDB.
