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,
