Connecting data with widget

Now we will connect the data object of the fetch customers query with the table. Click on the table widget to open the inspector on the right sidebar. We can see that the data property of the table has an empty array as the value. The data field, like almost every other field on the editor supports single-line javascript code within double brackets. Variable suggestions will be shown as a dropdown while you type the code in the field.

Let's select the data object of the 'postgresql' query.

{{queries.postgresql1.data}}

Since we have already run the query in the previous step, the data will be immediately displayed in the table.

So far in this tutorial, we have connected to a PostgreSQL database and displayed the data on a table.
