Magento2 cusotm module and uiComponent won't load items, infinite spinner and "We couldn't find any records"

Question

I have created a custom module that's purpose is to manage Vendors. I have created a Collection, CollectionFactory, DataProvider, di.xml, vendors_vendor_listing.xml and so on and so forth.

I am able to see that the records are being found and am able to see the items in the system logs from the DataProvider, however the grid never loads up the items in the ui component vendors_vendor_listing. The spinner just persists and the items never load.

I do not see any ajax calls in the network tab with the params namespace=vendors_vendor_listing_data_source as I would expect their to be.

Here is my folder structure

Again, my custom table is set up correctly and has entries. I am correctly loading in the right ui component from vendors_index_index.xml. What do i need to do to see the correct ajax request in the network tab (and what should that be?) and ultimately, how do i get my data to show in the grid?
