dataset insert error

Hello,

There seems to be an error while trying to insert the dataset to vegaEmbed: Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token m in JSON at position 0

Here is the code:

    const defData = [
        { "a": "A", "b": 28 }, { "a": "B", "b": 55 }, { "a": "C", "b": 43 },
        { "a": "D", "b": 91 }, { "a": "E", "b": 81 }, { "a": "F", "b": 53 },
        { "a": "G", "b": 19 }, { "a": "H", "b": 87 }, { "a": "I", "b": 52 }
    ]
    const spec = {
        "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json",
        "description": "A simple bar chart with embedded data.",
        "data": {
            "name": 'data1',
            "values": 'myData'
        },
        "mark": "bar",
        "encoding": {
            "x": { "field": "a", "type": "nominal", "axis": { "labelAngle": 0 } },
            "y": { "field": "b", "type": "quantitative" }
        }
    }


    vegaEmbed('#view', spec).then( res => {
        res.view
            .insert('myData', defData)
            .run()
        window.view = res.view
    })

The data loads ok when insert into the “name” tag. The same error is at my Vega spec where I have multiple data object in the array - so I need the “name” tag.

You need to remove "values": 'data_len',.

SO I removed the values tag and inserted under the name tag. Thank you very much!!
