`row.add()` throws error when attempting to add a row using an object.

https://codepen.io/anon/pen/GyPeqr demonstrates the problem.

I'd like to be able to populate my table with objects to ensure that the data gets populated sanely everywhere. The example at https://datatables.net/reference/api/row.add() indicates that this is completely doable. I presume I'm missing some sort of special sauce around populating the table with objects, but I'm unclear as to what it is.

You column definition should look like this:

  'columns': [
    {'data': 'idea'}
  ]

Take a look at columns.data.

Thank you @kthorngren. I knew it would be something I missed.
