title: How to refresh Datatable data from js array of objects
body: <p>I'm using the jquery DataTables plugin to display an array of objects.  I would like to clear the table and redraw using the changed data.  However, the only way I've been able to do that so far is to destroy the table and reinitialize.  I'd like to know if there is a simple way to refresh from JS data source.  This is what I'm doing, it works but feels wrong...</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (NAMESPACE.table){
    NAMESPACE.table.destroy();
  }
  
  NAMESPACE.table = $('#assets-table').DataTable({
    "data": filteredData,
    "columns": [
        { "data": "id" },
        { "data": "type" },
        { "data": "city" },
        { "data": "state"}
    ]
   });
  </code></pre>
