## Details
### Webscript View HTML example
This sample demonstrates how to implement a Webscript component that renders the HTML contents that come from a webscript
This sample Web Scripts reside in your Alfresco Server. You can access the folder webscript here:
`http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/folder/Company%20Home`
```html
```
### Webscript View DATATABLE example
This sample demonstrates how to implement a Webscript component that renders the JSON contents that come from a webscript
`http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/folder/DATATABLE`
```html
```
If you want to show the result from a webscript inside a ng2-alfresco-datatable you have to return from the GET of the webscript the datastructure below:
subdivide in data and schema
```ts
data: [],
schema: []
```
this is an example:
```ts
data: [
{id: 1, name: 'Name 1'},
{id: 2, name: 'Name 2'}
],
schema: [{
type: 'text',
key: 'id',
title: 'Id',
sortable: true
}, {
type: 'text',
key: 'name',
title: 'Name',
sortable: true
}]
```
or you can send just the array data and the component will create a schema for you:
```ts
data: [
{id: 1, name: 'Name 1'},
{id: 2, name: 'Name 2'}
]]
```
that will render the following table
### Webscript View JSON example
This sample demonstrates how to implement a Webscript component that renders the JSON contents that come from a webscript
This sample Web Scripts reside in your Alfresco Server. You can access the folder webscript here:
`http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/sample/folder/JSON%EXAMPLE`
```html
```
You can get the plain data from the webscript through the **success** event parameter and use it as you need in your application
```ts
logDataExample(data) {
console.log('You webscript data are here' + data);
}
```
