Using rowID option with object data

GreenBaron

DataTables v1.10.9

I'd like to use rowID to assign an id to my tr's, but I can't seem to get it to work and the rowID example uses PHP, obscuring my ability to analyze it. Ultimately, I think the question boils down to... whats the format required for the 'data' property in order to make use of the 'rowID' property?

I'm assuming I can't use arrays since I can't specify columns so it must be objects, but I can't find an example on the site that uses objects (i'm sure there must be one).

As an example, I get a DT initialization error if I run the following code (modified from http://jsfiddle.net/j5a390d9/2/):

var dataset = [{ col1: 'test', col2: 15, col3: 'testDesc'}]; 

$('#MeterDataTable').DataTable(
{
    "data": dataset,
    "columns": [
                  { "title": "meter" },
                  { "title": "id" },
                  { "title": "desc" }
               ],
    "rowId": 'col1'           
});

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
