After creating a basic form using alpacajs, I followed the documentation on alpacajs.org which suggests using properties like optionsSource, schemaSource, viewSource, and dataSource to load external JSON files into the application. However, my goal is to simplify this process by using just one JSON file for all data instead of multiple files. Is there a way I can achieve this? Please review the code snippet below.

});
</script>
</body>
</html>
In the provided code, separate URLs are currently being used for loading JSON data:
"dataSource": "/fulfiller/connector-custom-data.json"
"schemaSource": "/fulfiller/connector-custom-schema.json"
"optionsSource": "/fulfiller/connector-custom-options.json"
"viewSource": "/fulfiller/connector-custom-view.json"
Instead of utilizing these different properties, could I streamline the process by using a single property such as "oneSingleJSONSource": "oneJSONRemoteFile.json"?
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions regarding this matter.
