Populating aem pathfield with custom datasource

[bradc41659614]

I found this link https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-granite-datasource.html on how to populate a select field with a datasource, and it basically just passes an array into it. How can i do something similar with pathfield? I have some JSON that i want to pass in and have it displayed in the tree structure of the pathfield

Hi bradc10998411​,

Do you mean parsing a json to display as tree without actually creating the nodes in JCR?

This was possible in Classic UI using CQ.Ext.tree.TreePanel but in Touch UI am yet to find anything similar.

Yes rampai that is what I mean, how unfortunate
