Hello @allan

I see the documentation of column().name() or columns().names() and make some tests, but they are undefined.
This function has depreciated or removed?

    Actually it hasn't been released yet. At the top of the pages you link to it says: Since: DataTables 2.0.0 and they don't appear in the API reference list. I'm somewhat curious as you how you found them?

    DataTables 2 is still in development and has a long way to go before release I'm afraid.

    wooowww... Sorry, I came back from the future. hahaha :D

    I searched google for "datatable column.name".

    OBS: so, I would like to recommend the creation of a method "column().type()" to retrieve information about the type of the column.

    thanks @allan

    Sounds like a good idea to me - thanks for the suggestion. I've added that to my list for v2.
