How to use Datasource in CheckBoxGroup

[Saket]

How can i use DataSource in CheckboxGroup instead of static data items ?

In below code instead of hardcoded items i want to use the Datasource so that the Checkbox get rendered based on data returned by API.

I tried to put "dataSource" element instead of items but no luck

Can you let me know how we can achieve this ?

                 {
                        field: "CheckBoxGroup",
                        editor: "CheckBoxGroup",
                        label: "Select Status:",
                        validation: { required: false },
                        editorOptions: {
                            items: ["English", "Russian", "Spanish"],
                            layout: "horizontal",
                            labelPosition: "before"
                        }
                    }

I don't believe this is possible yet due to the check box group being a new control.

Hello Saket,

I have already replied in the support thread regarding the same issue and received your reply. However, as it could be helpful to the other users I will paste my reply below as well:

I am afraid that CheckBoxGroup does not provide a dataSource configuration option for remote binding. In case the remote data returns an array of string or an array of checkbox items, you could use the items option to configure the checkboxes. In the Dojo linked here, the checkboxes in the CheckBoxGroup are configured through an object property. 

In case you think that binding the CheckBoxGroup to remote data would be a valuable enhancement to the widget I would encourage you to log your idea in our official Feedback Portal. Depending on the popularity the issue gains in the community, it could be considered for implementation in the future.
