Store or retrieve an extra data value in this WireArray
The data() function is exactly the same thing that it is in jQuery: http://api.jquery.com/data/.
Example
// set a data value named 'foo' to value 'bar'
$a->data('foo', 'bar');
// retrieve the previously set data value
$bar = $a->data('foo');
// get all previously set data
$all = $a->data(); Usage
// basic usage
$items = $wireArray->data();
// usage with all arguments
$items = $wireArray->data($key = null, $value = null);Arguments
