Problems loading table using array of data stored in javascript variable
Problems loading table using array of data stored in javascript variable

I am trying to follow the instruction in the manual explicitly to load a table using Arrays in the section: "Data source types". The value of my variable and my initialization looks EXACTLY like the examples shown in pictures in the manual. But when the table initialization occurs I get this message:
DataTables warning: table id=fileList - Requested unknown parameter '1' for row 0, column 1. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4
The value of my var data is:
[
[
"file-1",
"2019-01-29T20:33:57.000163Z",
"348"
],
[
"file-2",
"2019-01-29T20:33:57.000167Z",
"401"
],
[
"file-3",
"2019-01-29T20:33:57.000171Z",
"1314"
]
]
My table initialization is:
var table = $('#fileList').DataTable({
data: data
});
The body section of my HTML file is:
<body>
<table id="fileList" class="display" style="width:100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Size</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
</body>
It frustrating to not be able to exactly replicate the examples and they don't work. Arrays data appears to be the most simplistic yet I cannot seem to get it to load. Can anyone offer some advice?

Disregard. I got this working. My var was being set to a string representation of the array. I transformed it with a call to JSON.parse to turn it into a proper array and it is now working.
