How can I generate a list page in backend for a plugin that uses values returned from an API call not a model. I want to integrate with a CRM API to show a list of contacts/invoices... and other CRM stored data.

I've tried this as well and it turns out not to be easy. Especially ordering, searching and relations require (and heavily depend on) a database engine. There are a few projects that try to build an Eloquent driver, that uses a API source. However, most have been abandonned and I don't know of a working solution.

I'm trying, but can I fix it?
