Does anyone have any experience with

addCustomDataSource

from the

N/render

module?

.addCustomDataSource({
    format: render.DataSource.OBJECT,
    alias: "ITEMS",
    data: items
});

I'm trying to add an Object items and I keep getting the following error.

"UNSUPPORTED_DATA_FORMAT","message":"You have supplied an invalid value for data format: JSON: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

I think you still need to stringify the object.

you don't have to stringify it

Here's how I have it working:

tmpl.addCustomDataSource({
  alias: "grants",
  format: render.DataSource.JSON,
  data: JSON.stringify(data)
});

I never found success with the

OBJECT

format

your items data object may be bad too i'd take a look and validate that

that’s my guess too. we use OBJECT pretty regularly without issue, but our use cases are shallow and relatively simple.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll try the DataSource.JSON and double check my data object.
