How can I get Smart-Table to work with json objects from a restful api

Question

It appears that Smart-table by Lorenzo Fox works only with a straight forward data array. Is it possible for it to work with data objects which is produced by the following code:

    var getList = function () {
        return $http.get(webapi + "vw_C1Verify")
                    .then(function (response) {
                        return response.data;
                    });
    };

Thanks Paul
