array key: get_data

returns: array of array

The get_data array returns the rows of data to be displayed and used in list table processing generally called items in list table construction. The array is returned in rows of associative arrays with the associative keys corresponding to the keys of the columns array. This array of arrays can correspond directly to a $wpdb result set if the result set is returned in ARRAY_A format. This array and database query must also account for pagination and any search terms or WHERE clauses. These parameters can be brought into the callable via query string.
