- <h2>Understanding binding as reference</h2>
- <p>Handsontable binds to your data source (array or object) by reference. Therefore, all the data entered in
- the
- grid will alter the original data source.</p>
- <p>In complex applications, you may have a purpose to change data source programatically (outside of
- Handsontable). A value change that was done programatically will not be presented on the screen unless you
- refresh the grid on screen using the <b>render</b> method.</p>

- <p>In case you want to keep separate working copy of data for Handsontable, it is suggested to clone the data
- source before you load it to Handsontable.</p>
- <p>This can easily be done with <b>JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data))</b> or some other deep-cloning function.</p>
