Bootstrap Table Formatter for URL

Question

Javascript:

function LinkFormatter(value, row, index) {
  return "<a href='"+row.url+"'>"+value+"</a>";
}

HTML:

<th data-field="snum" data-sortable="true" data-formatter="LinkFormatter" >LINK</th>
<th data-sortable="true">DATA</th>

JSON:

{
  data: [
    [
      "https://www.stackoverflow.com",
      "Stackoverflow"
    ]
  ]
}

For this combination I only get an entry in the first column in the table that sais undefined and also links to /undefined. I however just want one column that display Stackoverflow and is a URL to stackoverflow.

What am I missing?

You will have to change your JSON.

It should be something like this:

[ 
  {
    "url": "https://www.stackoverflow.com",
    "nice_name": "Stackoverflow"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://www.facebook.com",
    "nice_name": "Facebook"
  }
];

var data = [{
  "url": "https://www.stackoverflow.com",
  "nice_name": "Stackoverflow"
}, {
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com",
  "nice_name": "Facebook"
}];

function linkFormatter(value, row) {
  return "<a href='" + row.url + "'>" + row.nice_name + "</a>";
}

$(function() {
  $('#table').bootstrapTable({
    data: data
  });
});

<table data-toggle="#table" id="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th data-field="url" data-formatter="linkFormatter" data-sortable="true">Link</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
</table>

Example on bootstrap-table site where same JSON format is required when initializing table through data fields. Example:

<table id="table"
       data-toggle="table"
       data-height="460"
       data-url="../json/data1.json">
  <thead>
