Hi there,

I'm developing a Kibana plugin and I want to use a table from Elastic UI. I want to use the [EuiBasicTable](https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/display/tables). However, I need to import some things and I don't know where they are coming from. They don't exist in my project folder.

```
import { formatDate } from '../../../../../src/services/format';
import { createDataStore } from '../data_store';

```

I'm confused also how to use createDataStore to display data I'll be fetching from an API.

I guess it's just [data source](https://github.com/elastic/eui/blob/75fee43023fbe7ed32cf437cd711322d4228a7e0/src-docs/src/views/tables/data_store.js) for the demo website purposes only. Same for `formatDate`.

You're supposed to fetch your own data and pass it as an `items` property of the table component.

Best,  
Oleg
