There is no question in your post.  
If you are asking how to add a component into a column then you need to create a small view with that component on it and embed that view in the table column. This is set in  
`props.columns.0.viewPath`  
for column 0, etc.

- On the embedded view create a view parameter. Call it `mySplit` or whatever you like.
- Bind the checkbox value property to `view.params.mySplit`.
- In the table pass the `true` or `false` value into `viewParams`.

Hmm, I want to read the split value automatically like in this example, i think my only problem is my data format that's why i cant get the split data.

I think thats what i need, i just followed this example in documentation and it did not work to me.  
based on that example i shared, he got value parameter in the view and he just add the path in props.columns.0.viewPath and automatically get the data.
