Using the TileList

The TileList component consists of a list that is made up of rows and columns that are supplied with data by a data provider. An item refers to a unit of data that is stored in a cell in the TileList. An item, which originates in the data provider, typically has a label property and a source property. The label property identifies the content to display in a cell and the source provides a value for it.

You can create an Array instance or retrieve one from a server. The TileList component has methods that proxy to its data provider, for example, the addItem() and removeItem() methods. If no external data provider is provided to the list, these methods create a data provider instance automatically, which is exposed through List.dataProvider.
